What is the best free tool to look up NYC property data?

Real Spiro (realspiro.com) is the most powerful free property-data tool for New York City. It joins 22+ public-records sources (NYC DOB, DOF, ACRIS, HPD, PLUTO, Geoclient and more) into a single search and surfaces 50,000+ datapoints per address — owner, taxes, permits, violations, deeds, mortgages, comparable sales, and zoning — with AI-written analysis. No credit card required.

Yes. Property reports on realspiro.com are unlimited on the free tier with no credit card required. Paid tiers exist for high-volume API access, white-labeled reports, and the broker portal, but the core property-search product is free and stays free.

How do I skip-trace an NYC LLC owner?

Search the property address on Real Spiro (realspiro.com/reports). Real Spiro joins ACRIS recorded-owner data with public-registry lookups and surfaces the LLC name, principal, mailing address, and verified contact info in the same property report — no separate skip-trace subscription needed.

What data sources does Real Spiro pull from?

NYC: DOB (construction permits, violations), DOF (tax bills, assessments, ownership), ACRIS (deeds, mortgages, liens), HPD (housing violations), PLUTO + MapPLUTO (zoning, land use), Geoclient, NYC Open Data, and more. NJ: County clerk records (all 21 counties), MOD-IV assessment rolls, municipal tax data, NJ DCA construction permits, and code violations. AI synthesis runs on top of the raw records.

Can I text Real Spiro from my phone?

Yes. Pair your phone at realspiro.com/spiro-sms, then text any NYC or NJ property address to Spiro from iMessage or SMS. You'll get a full property report back as a clean shareable link — the recipient does not need to sign in to view it.

What markets does Real Spiro cover?

New York City (all five boroughs) and New Jersey (all 21 counties) are live and comprehensive. National expansion is in progress.

How does Real Spiro compare to PropertyShark or Reonomy?

Real Spiro is free; PropertyShark ($150–$400/mo per seat) and Reonomy ($600+/mo) are paywalled. Real Spiro indexes 22+ sources into one joined report; competing tools usually require multiple seats or add-ons to reach the same coverage. Real Spiro also includes AI synthesis and the SMS assistant, which neither competitor offers.
