Notice of Recorded Deed In NYC

Beginning on July 6, 2010 the New York City Department of Finance is
implementing a Notice of Recorded Documents Program. Owners of property
in Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens or Staten Island can register to
receive notification when a deed or mortgage (or related) document has been
recorded against their property. This program was designed to alert
registered property owners or their designees when documents are recorded
without their knowledge so that they can take steps to attempt to limit the
harm caused by such recording.

An owner’s agent (including a child, spouse, or domestic partner of owner if
listed as a designee), the managing agent, the property owner’s attorney,
the lien holder, and the executor or administrator of the estate of the
owner or lien holder of the property may also receive notification if
registered.

To find out more about this program, you can go to the New York City
Department of Finance website at www.nyc.gov/finance or ACRIS webpage at
www.nyc.gov/acris and click on the Recorded Document Notification link. to
register.

Hello,
My name is Courtney Edwards and I am a beginner wholesaler in NY. I am currently trying to compile a list of absentee owners in NY. I saw a message that you left in a board in reference to NYC Finance and the ACRIS system and I am hoping since you referenced the site you will be able to give me some assistance. Do you have an idea or can you point me in the direction to finding out how to compile list of absentee owners utilizing public records???
Thanks and Happy Investing!

This release was posted in a legal forum to which I subscribe. I only posted it here because of concerns of people getting mortgages for free and clear properties they do not own. I do not invest in NY and do know the publicly available information in NYC to help you. There may be other NY investors who can post here. In any case, the best I can do is refer to a local RE group.
