Find buildings in a situation worth acting on
Each tool is a citywide list built from public records — filter it by borough, ZIP and size, open any building for its full record.
Commercial search
Buildings with commercial space, the businesses on record and their brands, reported lease expiries, applications for new tenants, and blocks and street corridors ranked by vacancy and anchor tenants — by borough, ZIP, neighbourhood, block or a stretch of street.
Open commercial search →Distressed buildings
Buildings ranked by distress score, with the records that come before a forced sale: tax and federal liens, foreclosure sales, reverse mortgages handed to HUD, estate sales. Each signal is a recorded fact with its date.
Open distressed buildings →Deal search
Vacant storefronts, long-held mixed-use, under-built corners, distressed retail, leases expiring, absentee owners — or any mix of building, value, motivation, occupancy and activity filters, for the city or a borough. Every ZIP, neighbourhood, tract, block and corridor page has the same search.
Open deal search →Absentee owners
Buildings whose owner's mailing address is out of the building — or out of state — on the latest deed.
Open absentee owners →Long-held buildings
Buildings last sold over 20 years ago — owners likely to hold substantial equity.
Open long-held buildings →Recent buyers
Buildings with a deed over $10,000 recorded in the last 24 months. (The newly formed LLCs behind them are not built yet.)
Open recent buyers →Renovation permits
Buildings with a major-alteration permit first issued in the last 12 months.
