Every NYC property sale is a public record. Search your address and see who took the deed, what they paid, and what happened next in the building: evictions, permits, and violations.
Free, no signup. Public records only
Deeds are recorded in ACRIS, the city register run by the Department of Finance. The most recent deed names the current owner of record and the price paid. A PulseCities property page puts that deed next to the building's eviction, permit, and violation history, with ACRIS document IDs you can verify yourself. See a worked example →
Most investor purchases close under a limited liability company, often a fresh LLC per building, which keeps the people behind the purchase off the deed. PulseCities groups related LLCs into operator networks using shared naming and filing patterns, so one LLC on your deed can lead to the whole portfolio. Browse the operator directory →

The name on the deed matters less than what the record shows around it. On any property or neighborhood page, look at executed evictions, renovation permits filed soon after a purchase, open HPD violations, and rent-stabilized unit counts over time. Every neighborhood page has a watch card that emails you when the record moves. Citywide eviction tracker → Is my building rent stabilized → Look up an eviction case →
For the deed itself, search ACRIS directly. Multiple-dwelling landlords must also register a managing agent with HPD, searchable on HPD Online. PulseCities indexes the deed record and the enforcement record; HPD registration can name a person where the deed names a shell.
Start with the deed. Every property sale in NYC is recorded in ACRIS, the city register, and names the buyer. Search your address on PulseCities and the property page shows the most recent deed holder along with the eviction, permit, and violation record for the building.
Most investor purchases close under a limited liability company, often one LLC per building, which keeps the people behind it off the deed. PulseCities groups related LLCs into operator networks using shared names and filing patterns, so one name leads to the wider portfolio.
Yes. Deeds, mortgages, permits, violations, and eviction records are all public record. PulseCities reads the same city sources anyone can, and links each claim to its document ID where one exists.
DHCR publishes building-level counts of rent-stabilized units once a year. Neighborhood pages track stabilized-unit loss as a signal; for a binding answer on your own lease, request your rent history from DHCR directly.
Ownership records describe documents, not conduct. Nothing here is a claim of wrongdoing by any owner. How PulseCities reads the record →
