Public records only. No signup, no tenant names

Which number do you have?

If it is five or six digits with nothing else, it is a marshal docket number. If it has a slash and a two-digit year, like 312756/24, it is the Housing Court index number from your court papers. This page takes either. The two are not interchangeable: a docket number can repeat across years and marshals, while the index number belongs to one case.

What this record can and cannot tell you

Every row is a warrant a marshal or sheriff carried out, with the address, the date and the case numbers. It does not carry the reason, the outcome of any appeal, or anyone's name. For the case file itself, including filings that never reached an execution, the source is the court, not this dataset. Most Housing Court cases end without an execution, so a number that returns nothing here is usually a case that ended another way.

The ten most recent executions, with their numbers

Newest first, residential only. Each row carries both numbers, so you can see which one you are holding.

What you can do with an address

Once you have the address, the building's own page lists every eviction carried out there, with the deed history around them, open violations and renovation permits. The citywide eviction list

The weekly read, by email on Sunday evening: one page on the evictions, deeds and violations filed across the city. A quiet week sends nothing.

Common questions

What is a marshal docket number?

The case number a city marshal assigns to a warrant of eviction. It is five or six digits and it is what the city's eviction dataset is keyed on. It is not the same as the Housing Court index number, and marshals reuse docket numbers across years, so one number can match more than one record.

What is the court index number?

Housing Court's own case number, shaped like 312756/24, where the digits after the slash are the year the case was filed. It is printed on the court papers a tenant receives and it identifies a single case. This page matches either number.

My docket number returns nothing. What does that mean?

Most Housing Court cases never reach an executed eviction, and only executions appear here. A blank result is more often a case that ended another way than a missing record. Records here run from April 12, 2024 to October 9, 2026.

Does this include cases that were filed but never carried out?

No. All 45,532 records are warrants a marshal or sheriff actually executed, 42,131 of them residential. Filings are a much larger number and are not in this dataset.

Where does this data come from?

NYC Open Data's evictions dataset, published by the Department of Investigation from marshal and sheriff filings, refreshed here nightly. It carries addresses, dates and case numbers. It carries no tenant names, and neither does this page.

Every record here comes from NYC Open Data. The records show when a court order was carried out. They do not show the circumstances behind it. How PulseCities reads the record
