It has come to our attention that the New York City Register has taken the position that she will not allow a conveyance to be recorded which affects only a portion of a tax lot.
As a result, effective immediately, all reports issued concerning properties in the counties of Kings, Queens, the Bronx and New York , must contain the following note:
Pursuant to the recording requirements of the New York City Register, Company will not insure any conveyance which affects only a portion of a tax lot without compliance with the requirements for subdivision/apportionment of a tax lot and prior approval of the Department of Buildings and Department of Finance.
When (or if) this position changes or is rescinded, further notification will be sent.
If you have any questions, please call company counsel.
