The three jobs brokers use MetroDeeds for
Every workflow below is built on public records from ACRIS, NYC Department of Finance, HPD, and NYS Department of State.
Pull comps in 30 seconds
Filter ACRIS deeds by neighborhood, building class, and date range. Pull arms-length sales for any block in any borough, sorted by recorded date and dollar amount. Export to CSV when you need the full 108-column raw data for client decks.
Surface pre-listing distress signals
Before you cold-call a building owner, see HPD violations, eviction filings, mortgage history, tax liens, rent stabilization status, and the full LLC network behind the deed. Distressed sellers are easier to convert. Knowing the operator profile before you knock changes the conversation.
Catch in-contract activity early
New York is one of the few states where a recordable contract of sale (CTOR) can be filed in ACRIS before closing. Subscribe to CTOR alerts by neighborhood or by buyer name and learn about deals weeks or months before they appear in MLS. Pro tier only.
Five features built for broker workflows
Same-day ACRIS deed transfers across all five boroughs.
Every weekday morning at 8 AM ET, MetroDeeds ingests the NYC Department of Finance Electronic Document System (EDS) drop covering all five boroughs. New deeds appear in your feed within minutes of recording, not weeks later when ACRIS Open Data publishes its monthly bulk. Filter by borough, doc type (Deed, Mortgage, CTOR, DOF Sale), price band, building class, and date range. Search by buyer name, seller name, address, or block-and-lot. Cache-first architecture serves five years of history at every load.
In-contract intelligence months before MLS.
A Contract of Sale Recording (CTOR) is a public ACRIS document filed when buyer and seller execute a recordable contract — typically one to four months before closing. Subscribe to CTOR alerts by neighborhood, by buyer name, or by building class. The CTOR feed is the closest thing to a real-time pipeline of NYC commercial and residential deals in flight, and it is invisible to brokers who only watch MLS. Available exclusively at the Pro tier, where it is paired with eviction and housing court data and unlimited Portfolio Reports.
Full LLC network for any operator, in one printable PDF.
Type a name. Get every deed transfer where the owner appears as buyer or seller, the full LLC network they control, the buildings under HPD registration, and the shared registered-agent clusters. Pro and Enterprise tiers generate a 2-page printable Portfolio Report on demand — formatted for client meetings, suitable as a leave-behind. Scout+ generates a 1-pager. Use this when a seller mentions they have other buildings they might also want to list.
One-page snapshot or full two-page DDR per building.
Every deed in the feed has a one-click report. Scout generates a 1-page Deal Snapshot (200 per month). Free, Scout+, Pro, and Enterprise generate the full 2-page Due Diligence Report covering ownership history, mortgage encumbrances, HPD violations, tax assessments, building dimensions, and zoning context. Free tier: 3 lifetime DDRs as a loss leader. Scout+: 500 per month. Pro and Enterprise: unlimited.
Distress score, complaints, and ownership network on every operator.
For Scout+ and above, MetroDeeds runs a nightly compute over every named NYC residential rental operator and produces a 0-100 distress score weighted by HPD violations, eviction filings, foreclosure activity, and serial-acquisition behavior. Use it to vet a seller before listing, vet a buyer before showing, or generate a comparable portfolio shortlist for a buy-side client. The data is fully public — but the cross-source join is the work.

Frequently asked
Do I need a brokerage license to use MetroDeeds?
No. MetroDeeds aggregates public records from ACRIS, NYC Department of Finance, HPD, and NYS Department of State, and anyone can use the platform. The free tier requires no credit card. A license is only required to act as a broker in any transactions you generate from intelligence found here.
How fresh is the deed feed?
New ACRIS deed transfers appear in MetroDeeds the same day they are recorded with NYC Department of Finance, via our Electronic Document System (EDS) ingest pipeline that runs every weekday morning. DOF rolling-sales records refresh weekly. ACRIS Open Data publishes a monthly bulk on roughly day 8 to 15 of the following month, so historical backfills land monthly.
What is CTOR, and which tier unlocks it?
CTOR is short for Contract of Sale Recording. New York is one of the few states where a recordable contract of sale can be filed in ACRIS before closing, surfacing in-contract deals weeks or months before they appear in MLS. CTOR feed and alerts unlock at the Pro tier ($149.99 per month). Lower tiers see deed transfers only after closing.
Can I generate reports for client presentations?
Yes. Every deed in the feed has a one-click Due Diligence Report (full 2-page) at Scout+ and above, or a 1-page Deal Snapshot at Scout. Pro adds unlimited Portfolio Reports keyed by owner name, which summarize an LLC network and its full transaction history in a printable layout suitable for client meetings.
How do I find the seller behind an LLC?
Public NYC LLCs are required to name a personally-accountable head officer in HPD registration filings for any rental building of three or more units. MetroDeeds joins ACRIS deed parties to HPD registration data and to NYS Department of State entity records, surfacing the named human behind most residential LLCs. Portfolio Reports at Pro show the full LLC network and shared registered-agent address clusters.
