Council Member Julie Menin inquires about the Department of Finance's process for notifying property owners about suspicious deed transfers. The City Register explains that they automatically send out notices when a deed is recorded on a property.

  • DOF sends automatic notifications when deeds are recorded
  • Property owners are advised to contact the district attorney's office if they are unfamiliar with the recorded deed
