Eviction filings reveal where owners are dealing with non-paying tenants and operational headaches — friction that often precedes a decision to sell.
NYC Marshals carry out residential and commercial evictions, and that activity is published as public data. Crezly's evictions feed maps Marshal eviction activity to buildings and their owners by BBL across all five boroughs.
Eviction activity points to operational strain — vacancy, rent collection problems, or tenant disputes that wear an owner down. For a small or mid-size landlord, a run of evictions is exactly the kind of headache that makes an unsolicited offer welcome. Read it alongside violations and liens to gauge how much pressure an owner is under.
Map eviction activity to the owner's wider portfolio to see whether it's an isolated problem or a pattern across their holdings, then skip trace the owner to reach them.

Does an eviction mean the owner wants to sell?
Not on its own — but eviction activity is a real operational-strain signal, and combined with debt, liens or violations it flags owners more open to an exit.
Are eviction records free to view?
Property-level eviction summaries are free; full owner contact details require a Crezly plan.
