If you are working with properties in the five counties of NYC - Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens and Richmond - there is a frequently changing situation with search data in regard to searches run in the county clerk's office.

Since December 8, 2023, NYSLTA has been following the issue in the New York City counties with the Office of Court Administration (OCA) Judgement Docket Lien System (JDLS). 

While we are seeing positive developments, we are advising members if you or your examiners are using a third party vendor's online services to do title searches, we suggest that you cross reference their reports with the information that is being provided directly to the County Clerk’s office.

For further guidance or if you have questions, please contact your underwriter.
