Issue: How do I find the record owner of a residential premises?

Solution: Run the address (from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. EST) at the Property Address Search page of the NYC Department of Finance. In addition to obtaining the name of the property tax record owner, you can ascertain the block and lot number of the particular property. Try also running the block and lot number at the Office of the City Register search page. There you will find scanned images of documents on file related to the premises including deeds.
