How recording works here
In Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens, property documents are recorded by the NYC Department of Finance's Office of the City Register, and the index and document images are public in ACRIS.
Every New York City parcel is identified by its borough, block and lot (BBL). A title search is run against the BBL rather than the street address, because one building can carry several addresses and a condominium has a separate lot for each unit.
What a HeritageDeed report searches in The Bronx
- Deeds, mortgages, satisfactions, assignments and UCC fixture filings in ACRIS
- Property tax charges and the NYC tax lien sale list from the Department of Finance
- Water and sewer charges from the Department of Environmental Protection

What it does not cover

How to search The Bronx records yourself
- Find the parcel and the current owner at the NYC Department of Finance, Property Information Portal. Note the parcel number and the owner's exact name.
- Search the ACRIS (Automated City Register Information System) by parcel or by name for every deed, so you can see how the current owner took title and from whom.
- List every mortgage or deed of trust recorded against the parcel, then look for a matching satisfaction or release for each one. Anything without a release may still be open.
- Search the same names for liens, judgments and lis pendens, including state and federal court indexes, and check property tax status with the tax office.
- Write down document numbers and dates so a title company or attorney can pull the originals.
A HeritageDeed report runs those steps automatically and shows the source of every finding.
