RE: Clarification on the Requirements in Bulletin 484

To clarify the requirements in Bulletin 484, the records that will be unavailable are: 

  • WPA INDEX BOOKS (1900 - 1938)
  • CONVEYANCE INDEX BOOKS (1900 - 1965)
  • MORTGAGE INDEX BOOKS (1900 - 1965)
  • CONVEYANCE BOOKS (PRIOR TO 1900)
  • TICKLER INDEX (1966 - 1981) 

If you require access to these books during the “no access” period, you must raise the exception set forth in Bulletin No. 484.  If you do not require access then the requirements of Bulletin No. 484 do not apply. 

Please feel free to contact Agency Legal Services if you have any questions at 212-922-0050.
