How do I search NYC property records by address?

NYC property records are spread across multiple city agencies. Key free resources include: ACRIS (a836-acris.nyc.gov) for deeds, mortgages, and recorded documents; the Property Information Portal (propertyinformationportal.nyc.gov) for tax assessments and building data; DOB BIS (a810-bisweb.nyc.gov) for violations and permits; and HPD Online (hpdonline.nyc.gov) for housing violations. For a combined search of all these sources in one place, RegWatch aggregates data from 250+ government databases:

  1. For title and deed records, search ACRIS (a836-acris.nyc.gov) — covers deeds, mortgages, liens, and recorded documents from 1966 to present.
  2. For building violations and permits, search DOB BIS (a810-bisweb.nyc.gov) or DOB NOW (a810-dobnow.nyc.gov) — covers construction violations, permits, and certificates of occupancy.
  3. For tax assessments, search the Property Information Portal (propertyinformationportal.nyc.gov) — covers assessed values, tax class, and exemptions.
  4. For a combined view of all sources, enter any address into RegWatch to see violations, permits, tax, zoning, and environmental data in one search — plus full title history with a report.

Why NYC Property Search Is So Complicated

New York City property records are spread across more than a dozen city agencies, each with its own database and search interface. If you need to research a building at 350 Fifth Avenue, you'd traditionally visit DOB NOW for violations, ACRIS for title documents, DOF for tax records, DCP's ZoLa for zoning — and that's just the beginning.

For real estate professionals, attorneys, and investors, this fragmentation means hours of manual work per property. A single due diligence check can require visiting 8+ websites, cross-referencing data, and manually compiling reports.

How RegWatch Simplifies NYC Property Search

RegWatch unifies data from 250+ government sources into a single, searchable platform. Enter any address, BBL (Borough-Block-Lot), or BIN (Building Identification Number) and instantly receive the full tabbed property profile covering:

  • Overview — ownership, building class, lot dimensions, year built
  • Violations — DOB, HPD, ECB violations with status and fines
  • Permits — active and historical building permits
  • Tax — assessed value, market value, liens, DOF balance
  • Title — ACRIS deed transfers, mortgages, chain of title
  • Zoning — zoning district, FAR, overlays, landmarks
  • Environmental — DEP records, DSNY, environmental flags
