How a deal gets found

One block. Five reads. One owner worth calling.

Scroll through how PropScope turns a Brooklyn block into a single opportunity that is priced, sourced and ready to reach.

01 Find

Draw the territory.

Search a ZIP, a neighborhood or a hand-drawn area. Every tax lot in it is ranked, so the vacant, underbuilt and long-held ones surface before you walk the block.

02 Zoning

See what the zoning leaves unbuilt.

Floor area allowed under today’s Zoning Resolution, as amended by City of Yes, against what is standing. This lot: 1,600 sf unused, and 7 units permitted against 3.

03 Owner

Know who you are writing to.

Owner of record, how long they have held, and where the tax bill goes. An LLC mailing out of state is a different conversation from a family forty years in the house.

04 Price

Price it on what sold nearby.

Offer guidance anchored on arm’s-length sales nearby in the last 24 months. Never the list’s own estimate, and never what the owner paid decades ago.

05 Reach

Reach them the right way.

Text or email from the same board, to mobile numbers only, inside the owner’s quiet hours, with every opt-out honored. Replies land back on the lot.

Illustrative block and figures. Zoning per ZR 23-22 and ZR 23-52 as amended December 5, 2024.

Run it on a real lot How we source it

A quick read, not an appraisal or a zoning opinion. It leaves out lot coverage, yards, height limits, wide-street and special-district rules; the product reads those from the lot’s own district and records.

What acquisition teams are saying

★★★★★

"Finally a tool that ties the DOB record directly to the parcel context. I used to jump between five tabs — now I can get a full picture of a lot in minutes."

Marcus T.
Acquisition Principal, Brooklyn
★★★★★

"The City of Yes filter alone is worth it. We've already flagged three underbuilt lots in Queens that we'd have missed doing manual ZoLa lookups."

Priya N.
Development Associate, Queens
★★★★★

"The transparency is what got me. It tells you exactly where each record comes from and what's not covered. That honesty actually made me trust it more."

    FAQ

    Common questions

    Keeping the launch narrative credible and consistent with current product positioning.

    What is PropScope?

    PropScope is NYC property intelligence and prospecting software. It helps teams discover parcels, understand public-record context, evaluate buildability and opportunity signals, and move promising properties into workflow — with data tied to sources NYC professionals already recognize.

    What data does it use?

    The platform is built around municipal sources including ACRIS, DOB permits and violations, MapPLUTO, and zoning-related context from DCP. Dossiers surface coverage and freshness notes rather than pretending completeness.

    Is it a title product or entitlement opinion?

    No. PropScope is not a title company, title commitment, appraisal, legal opinion, engineering signoff, or substitute for entitlement advice. It is designed for screening, prioritization, and operational follow-through — with that boundary stated clearly in every dossier export.

    Who is PropScope for?

    Acquisition investors, developers, brokers, capital markets teams, family offices, contractors, and owner-users who need a faster path from parcel discovery to informed next action — without building an internal data team. Registration is open; the free plan needs no card.

    What is City of Yes?

    City of Yes is NYC's 2024 zoning amendment that expanded as-of-right development opportunities across the five boroughs. PropScope surfaces which lots have potential upside under the new rules — a unique signal for capital looking for entitlement leverage.

    How does the AI work?

    The AI Lab surfaces likely-seller signals and matches them to your existing contacts for a personalized outreach shortlist. It's acceleration, not automation — you still make the call. Coverage and methodology are documented inside the product.
