How this service works
Research one property or compare a shortlist before a showing, offer, project, or tax appeal. Run free public-record checks, then buy deeper x402 reports with ready-to-run next steps.
Output
A JSON object containing an array of recorded documents associated with the property (deed transfers, mortgages, liens, satisfactions, etc.), each with transaction metadata such as document type, recording date, and parties involved, plus a generatedAt timestamp and any applicable caveats.
Example use cases
Pre-offer title chain review
“Before I put in an offer on this Astoria condo, can you pull the full recording history for BBL 4012340056 — I want to see all the deed transfers and any mortgages or liens on record, up to 50 documents.”
Tax appeal ownership audit
“I'm preparing a tax appeal for a property at 456 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn — can you fetch the NYC recording history so I can document the ownership timeline and any encumbrances?”
Property fraud due diligence check
“I'm worried about potential deed fraud on my client's property at 789 Riverside Drive, Manhattan — pull the recording history and show me the last 25 entries so we can spot any suspicious transfers.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.locus.report/api/locus-nyc-recording-historyWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need official NYC land record history — deed transfers, mortgages, liens, and other recorded instruments — for a specific property identified by BBL or street address. It is specifically scoped to New York City's ACRIS recording system and is ideal for pre-offer due diligence, title research, tax appeals, and fraud detection on NYC properties. Prefer this over generic property lookup endpoints when you need the chronological chain of recorded documents rather than current ownership snapshot alone.
Side effects
- Invalid BBL format (must be 10-digit string matching borough 1-5) returns validation error
- Address not resolvable to a NYC property returns empty or error response
- Limit out of range (must be 1-50) returns validation error
- Property with no recorded documents returns empty records array
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) blocks request
- Upstream ACRIS data temporarily unavailable causes service error
