/as:nyc-acris — ACRIS Property Transaction Records

Look up ACRIS (Automated City Register Information System) property records — deeds, mortgages, liens, and other recorded documents. Uses a 3-table join across Legals, Master, and Parties datasets. No API key required.

Usage

/as:nyc-acris 120 Broadway, Manhattan
/as:nyc-acris 1000770001          (BBL)
/as:nyc-acris 1001389             (BIN)

Steps 1–2: Parse Input & Resolve BBL

Read ../nyc-property-report/pluto-resolution.md (shared by all 7 NYC due-diligence skills) and follow it: parse the input (address, BBL, or BIN) and resolve via PLUTO.

This skill's delta: parsing the BBL into separate boro/block/lot components (per the shared file) is REQUIRED — the ACRIS Legals table has no combined BBL field. BIN resolution is only needed when the user's input was a BIN.

Step 3: Query ACRIS (3-Table Join)

Dataset IDs and field names are canonical in ../nyc-property-report/socrata-reference.md — on any disagreement, the reference wins.

IMPORTANT: ACRIS requires BBL (not BIN). The Legals table uses separate borough, block, lot fields — not a combined BBL field.

Step 3a: Get Document IDs from Legals Table

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/8h5j-fqxa.json?borough={boro}&block={block}&lot={lot}&$order=good_through_date DESC&$limit=20

Extract document_id from each row. These are the join keys for the next two queries.

Step 3b: Get Document Details from Master Table

Build a $where clause with the document_ids from Step 3a:

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/bnx9-e6tj.json?$where=document_id IN ('{id1}','{id2}','{id3}',...)&$order=document_date DESC

Key fields: document_id, record_type, crfn, doc_type, document_date, document_amt, recorded_datetime (NOT doc_date/doc_amount/recorded_filed — those fields don't exist and 400)

Step 3c: Get Parties from Parties Table

Same document_ids:

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/636b-3b5g.json?$where=document_id IN ('{id1}','{id2}','{id3}',...)

Key fields: document_id, party_type, name, address_1, city, state, zip

Party types: 1 = Grantor (seller/borrower/assignor), 2 = Grantee (buyer/lender/assignee)

Step 3d: Look Up Document Type Codes

Fetch once to translate doc_type codes to descriptions:

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/7isb-wh4c.json?$limit=200

Common codes: DEED, MTGE (Mortgage), AGMT (Agreement), ASST (Assignment), SAT (Satisfaction), RPTT (Transfer Tax), ALIS (Assignment of Leases), UCC1 (UCC Filing), MCON (Mortgage Consolidation)

Joining the Data

For each document_id:

• Get date, type, and amount from Master
• Get grantor(s) and grantee(s) from Parties
• Translate doc_type code using the codes table
• Group by document type category

Step 4: Print Results

## Property Records (ACRIS) — {Address}

**BBL:** {bbl} (Borough {boro}, Block {block}, Lot {lot})
**Documents found:** {count} (showing 20 most recent)

### Deeds (Ownership)
| Date | Doc Type | Amount | From (Grantor) | To (Grantee) |
|------|----------|--------|----------------|--------------|
| YYYY-MM-DD | Deed | $X,XXX,XXX | ... | ... |

**Current owner (per most recent deed):** {grantee name}

### Mortgages
| Date | Amount | Lender (Grantee) | Borrower (Grantor) |
|------|--------|-------------------|---------------------|
| YYYY-MM-DD | $X,XXX,XXX | ... | ... |

### Other Documents
| Date | Doc Type | Amount | Grantor | Grantee |
|------|----------|--------|---------|---------|
| ... | Assignment | ... | ... | ... |

**Note:** Condo units may have records on both the unit lot and the parent condo lot. If results seem incomplete, try querying the main condo lot as well.

If no documents found: "No ACRIS records found for this property."

Conventions

• All dates: YYYY-MM-DD
• Dollar amounts: comma-separated ($1,234,567)
• Limit to 20 most recent documents. Note if truncated.
• If Socrata returns empty array: "No results found"
• If HTTP error: note it and suggest checking the address
• If the user requests, write results to a file

Final Step: Disclaimer + Marker (required)

This skill produces regulatory output. End every report this skill produces — printed in chat or saved to a file — with the canonical disclaimer block from rules/professional-disclaimer.md, followed by one blank line and the machine-readable marker, exactly as shown:

> **Disclaimer:** This is an AI-generated analysis for preliminary planning purposes. All findings must be verified by a licensed professional before use in design, permitting, or regulatory submissions.

<!-- architecture-studio:requires-disclaimer -->

The marker is a single end-of-file sentinel — it appears exactly once, as the last line of the report. The post-write-disclaimer-check hook parses saved .md reports for the marker and blocks the write if the canonical disclaimer block is missing.
