    Property Analysis & Reporting NYC

    BVS delivers comprehensive property research and reporting services — from CO history and compliance audits to feasibility memos and BIN establishment.

    What Is Property Analysis & Reporting?

    Before buying, selling, developing, or renovating a property in NYC, you need a clear picture of its regulatory history. BVS provides in-depth property research and reporting services that uncover open violations, filing history, Certificate of Occupancy status, and development potential — giving you the information you need to make confident decisions.

    Our Research & Reporting Services

    CO & TCO Research

    We pull and analyze your property's full Certificate of Occupancy history — identifying discrepancies, expired TCOs, and compliance gaps that could affect your project.

    Comprehensive Property Reports (CPR)

    A complete regulatory snapshot of your property including violations, open permits, filings, CO status, zoning, and agency records across DOB, FDNY, HPD, and ECB.

    As-Built Reports

    We document existing conditions and compare them against approved plans and the current CO — critical for identifying illegal alterations or preparing new filings.

    Letter of No Objection (LNO)

    When a CO doesn't exist or doesn't reflect current conditions, BVS helps obtain an LNO from DOB to confirm the building's lawful use.

    Additional Services

    • •
      Certificate of No Harassment (CONH)

      Required for certain demolition and alteration applications in HPD-designated areas. BVS manages the full CONH application process.

    • •
      DOB BIN Establishment

      For properties without an existing Building Identification Number, we establish a BIN with DOB to enable filings and permit applications.

    • •
      Property Records & Open Filings Research

      We investigate all active and historical filings, permits, and applications associated with your property across NYC agencies.

    • •
      Opinion / Feasibility Memos

      Written assessments of what's achievable on your property — combining zoning analysis, code review, and regulatory research into actionable guidance.

    Our Process

    Analysis & Cross-Reference

    Our team cross-references records against the current CO, zoning maps, and building code to identify compliance issues or development opportunities.

    Report Delivery

    We deliver a clear, organized report with findings, risk areas, and recommended next steps — ready for your attorney, architect, or development team.

    Why Property Research Matters

    Undiscovered violations, CO discrepancies, or unresolved filings can derail transactions, trigger fines, or block construction permits. A thorough property analysis protects your investment and ensures you're working with accurate information from day one.
