Free/cheap property ownership search for New York City

December 22, 2009 6:18 AM

Looking for free or cheap property ownership data for co-op/condo units in Manhattan. General question has been asked before but doesn't yield what I'm looking for here.

I am looking to find the name of the owner of a specific condo unit in Manhattan. I assume that this is public data (and don't want it if it's not) -- I just can't figure out how to get to it.

You can try this--but the issue I find is that a coop apartment is owned by the coop association, and the householder is just a shareholder in the corporation with the privilege of residing in the unit. Thus all coop listings come up under the association's name.

You can also use this site for more property info, but need either the owner name or tax parcel number - you can get that off of the other poster's site. But again, if owned by a co-op you'll only get the association name.
