What is an NYC property dossier?

A property dossier is a structured, parcel-level report that consolidates public-record information about a specific NYC tax lot — identified by its BBL. Instead of visiting ACRIS, DOB, MapPLUTO, and DCP separately, a PropScope dossier pulls all of those records into a single, readable view.

Each dossier is built around the records NYC acquisition teams already trust — but organized for speed and shareability, not raw database format. Coverage notes and non-goals are included on every report so recipients know exactly what the data covers and where it stops.

Built for screening, not for closing

A PropScope dossier is designed to help you decide whether a parcel is worth deeper investigation — not to replace the title search, appraisal, or legal review that happens before closing. Every dossier export states this clearly in its non_goals section.

FAQ

Property dossier questions

What is an NYC property dossier?

A NYC property dossier is a structured report consolidating public-record information about a specific tax lot (identified by BBL). A PropScope dossier pulls ACRIS deed history, DOB permits and violations, MapPLUTO lot attributes, zoning context, and available tax signals — all in one view with explicit coverage notes explaining what's included and what's not.

What records does a dossier include?

A PropScope dossier includes: ACRIS deed and mortgage records, DOB permits (filed and completed), DOB violations (active, resolved, dismissed), MapPLUTO attributes (lot dimensions, zoning, FAR, building class), zoning context from DCP, and available tax signals. It does not include title search, appraisal, legal opinion, or engineering signoff.

Is a property dossier the same as a title report?

No. A PropScope property dossier is a screening and decision-support tool, not a title report or title commitment. It draws from publicly available records. It does not certify title, guarantee lien completeness, or replace licensed title work. Every dossier export includes a non_goals section making this distinction explicit.

How do I look up NYC property records by BBL?

You can search NYC property records by BBL through several public portals: ACRIS for deed and mortgage records, the DOB Building Information System for permits and violations, and MapPLUTO from DCP for lot characteristics. PropScope consolidates all of these into a single click on the map — click any parcel, get the dossier.

Can I export a property dossier?

Yes. PropScope generates exportable property dossiers in structured formats suitable for team sharing, deal screening, and partner briefings. Every export includes source attribution, coverage notes, freshness indicators, and a non_goals section — so recipients understand what the report covers and where to go for deeper due diligence.
