What on earth happened to ACRIS?

Is working for me.

There was a notice regarding a system upgrade that was going to render certain features inaccessible for something like 4 days.

Staten Island transaction are not available on ACRIS, but are available on the Richmond County Clerk website at:

An i.d. must be set up to access the site.

Block and lot lookup has been spotty for weeks now.

Okay - now I have an ACRIS mystery result. How can an apartment have two mortgages, from two separate banks, recorded on the same day, where the “debtor” is not the owner of the shares? (and there is no record of the debtor’s ever having lived there or owned there). This is from 2004 and makes no sense, because ACRIS is also showing a mortgage on the same apartment from the owner of record taken out a short time before. Has anyone seen anything like this before?

I can't tell you if this is what happened, but I do know of instances of banks pre-filing UCC-3s and then the loan didn't go through and they forgot to pull them. So (yes I know this is a little out there) say someone enters contract to purchase a unit, applies for financing, gets everything in order, gets rejected by the Board, but the bank forgets to unwind their end of the transaction.

That explanation fits the facts quite well because the phantom debtor shareholders purchased another apartment in same price range six months later.

I think they outsourced the website development to overseas
