We received the following information today from the NYC Department of Finance.

We are writing to inform you of some important changes to how and where you will access Bronx land record books and microfilm.

From February 2, we will be moving the Bronx land record books from the Bronx office to the first floor of the new Queens Consolidated Library. You will still have access to the books and microfilm for research during this time, but you will need to submit a request 24 hours in advance. The Bronx microfilm will remain available for research in the Bronx City Register’s Office during this time.

·         Beginning February 4, Bronx land record books will be available for research in the Queens City Register Office, located at 144-06 94th Avenue, Jamaica, Queens 11435. In the meantime, if you need to access the Bronx land record books, the information can be obtained on microfilm.

·         To request the Bronx microfilm, please contact LandRecordsResearch@finance.nyc.gov or visit the Bronx City Register’s Office. (Each customer will be allowed to request up to five rolls of microfilm at a time.)

The Bronx City Register’s Office will continue to handle document submissions and pick up, payments, and certified copies of records that are available in ACRIS.

Please note that Bronx and Manhattan microfilm will be moved between February 21 and March 4.

We apologize for any inconvenience and would be grateful if you would share this information with your colleagues.

If you have any questions about this notice, please contact the Department of Finance via our online customer service portal, www.nyc.gov/dofaccount.
