Bronx DOB Work History Is a Buyer Check

A Bronx home can look finished while its official work history tells a more complicated story. BIS and the DOB NOW Public Portal show reported violations, permits, and complaints. Compare a basement room, deck, curb cut, boiler, or indoor renovation with those DOB records before closing.

If the home and record do not match, ask the seller, attorney, inspector, or DOB professional about the difference before buying.

Search NYC DOB’s Find Building Data with the Bronx address before buying. Save the work-history result, date, application or permit number, and any open record with the purchase file, then ask DOB about the specific item that could affect the deal.
