PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
Property deeds in the 5 boroughs of New York City are a matter of public record and are available for free through the Automated City Register Information System (ACRIS).
After you close on property, companies with official-sounding names will likely solicit you to provide "official copies" of your deed, for a price! They are NOT affiliated with government agencies and are not offering a legitimate service. They are using the public record system for their own benefit and are deliberately targeting new purchasers for "services" they don't need.
If you're unsure, always ask your attorney about any solicitations related to deeds.
