Trend watching, use the web to keep an eye out

Everyday I hear of a new case of someone's home being threatened by careless development. This is unfortunately a trend in this neighborhood.

If you think a developer is buying or has bought a neighboring property, check it out with the ACRIS link at the right of this page. You can see if the property has been sold and to whom.

If you want to see whether any plans or permits are in the works at the Department of Buildings, go to the DOB link at the right of this page. When you get to the page for the address you are looking at, look at the bottom left section of the page under a gray bar. Where you see Jobs/Filings, you can click right on those words to see a list of what has been filed. Click on any underlined words or numbers to get more details. I go to this DOB site everyday to see what is pending on the lot next door. If you have any questions, call DOB or post us here.
