Where to Record
Deeds in New York City must be recorded at the City Register either in person or online. Deed recordings in Staten Island are carried out at the Richmond County Clerk’s office or online.
Properties located in other NYC boroughs may utilize online deed filings.
Foreclosure
In New York, deeds of trusts are treated like mortgages when it comes to the foreclosure process: they must pass through the judicial system. Power of sale clauses are not permitted regardless of the security instrument.[1]
