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 273 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, title, zoning, and environmental data in one search.

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

  • 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
