New York City has five borough areas: the Bronx (Bronx County), Brooklyn (Kings County), Manhattan (New York County), Queens (Queens County) and Staten Island (Richmond County). We buy houses as-is in the city and its five counties, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

City and county records
One city, five boroughs and five county names
The borough name and county name are not always the same. A property address helps you choose the right record or City contact; a neighborhood label alone does not identify a parcel’s district or legal status.
Local areas named by NYC Community Boards
Neighborhood names across the five boroughs
These local names help orient a seller, but they do not establish a parcel’s community district. If a district boundary matters, check the property address with the City’s community-board locator.
Kings County
Brooklyn
Greenpoint and Williamsburg
Brooklyn Community Board 1 lists Greenpoint and Williamsburg among its local areas. Check the address when a city service or district boundary matters.
New York County
Manhattan
Chinatown, the Lower East Side and Central Harlem
Manhattan community-board listings name these areas. The neighborhood name alone does not identify a property record or community-district boundary.
Queens County
Queens
Astoria, Long Island City, Flushing and Jamaica
Queens community-board listings include these local-area names in different districts. Use the street address to check the right city contact or district.
Richmond County
Staten Island
St. George, Stapleton, Port Richmond and New Brighton
Staten Island community-board listings name these local areas. For a property record or transfer-tax filing, use the address and the City’s instructions for the borough.

Local offices and records
Match the question to the City office
City services, property records and estate matters use different contacts. Start with the address and the notice or record you have; the links below lead to the official source for each question.
NYC Department of Finance: taxes and notices
Start with the City’s Department of Finance for property-tax, property-charge and real-property transfer-tax information. A City lien sale is a sale of debt, not a sale of the home; unresolved debt can be a first step toward foreclosure. Check the actual notice and account for property-specific details.
City Register and ACRIS: records and filing
The City Register identifies ACRIS property-record services for the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens. For Staten Island, the City says RPTT returns are filed electronically through ACRIS and on paper with the Richmond County Clerk; its instructions explain when a paper return may instead go to a City Register office.
NYC Department of Buildings: use and occupancy records
The Department of Buildings explains what a Certificate of Occupancy records and provides an address-search route. A building’s history can affect which records apply, so check the actual address and any City notice rather than relying on a neighborhood name.
NYC Housing Preservation and Development: rental registration
HPD explains annual registration requirements for residential multiple dwellings and certain one- or two-unit private dwellings. Its page is a starting point for a rental-property question; it does not determine a specific building’s registration, tenancy or lease rights.
New York City Surrogate’s Courts: estate contacts
If the house is part of an estate, the New York Courts directory is a starting point for Surrogate’s Court contacts. It does not identify the court or authorized signer for a particular property or case.
Three simple steps
1
Tell us about your house
Share the address, what needs work and who lives there. Tell us when we can see it and when you want to sell.
2
Get your offer
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
3
Close
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
Compare the sale paths for your house
A direct as-is sale is one option to compare with listing, repairs, waiting or keeping a rental. Your written offer and written terms come before you commit, and a sale to us closes through a title company.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New York State real estate transfer tax and any applicable local real estate transfer taxes. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes or your share of current property taxes.

Choose the page for your situation
An estate, tenant, building notice or City charge may change what you want to compare. These New York City pages focus on those questions.

New York City neighborhoods and selling questions
Which county is each New York City borough in?
The Bronx is Bronx County; Brooklyn is Kings County; Manhattan is New York County; Queens is Queens County; and Staten Island is Richmond County. Use the property address when checking a record or contacting an office.
Do the neighborhood names on this page define exact boundaries?
No. These names come from NYC Community Board area listings and are for orientation. If a community-district boundary matters, use the City’s locator with the property address.
Can I sell a New York City house as-is?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Share the address and what you know about the property to start a conversation.
Does an NYC property tax lien sale mean the home was sold?
No. The City describes a lien sale as a sale of debt, not a sale of the home. Unresolved debt can be a first step toward foreclosure, so check the actual notice and account with the City for property-specific status and timing.
Where can I check a building’s use or occupancy records?
NYC Buildings provides address-search guidance for Certificate of Occupancy records. The records and requirements depend on the building and its history, so check the actual address with the Department of Buildings.
