New York City Index
NYC property activity read from public records: loans coming due in the next three to six months, investment sales since 2015, the largest sales of 2026, and the most distressed rental buildings.
Records through June 30, 2026
Loans maturing soon
Citywide, 57 properties on 53 loans ($439M original principal) reach their recorded maturity by Dec 29, 2026. Only about 24% of recorded mortgages print a maturity date, so this is a floor, not the full wall. Days left are counted from Sep 29, 2026. Staten Island is not in ACRIS.
Methodology
Investment sales. Reliable-price arm's-length, entity-transfer (LLC interest), air-rights and ground-lease deals; consumer home sales and co-op unit sales excluded. Records show ACRIS recordings through June 30, 2026; the largest-sales list adds July and August sales from live ACRIS through August 31, 2026, marked preliminary. H1 means January 1 to June 30, so H1 2026 is compared like for like with earlier first halves.
Run-rate. The 2026 full-year figure is an estimate: H1 2026 multiplied by 2.02, the average full-year to first-half dollar ratio from 2015 to 2025.
Distress score. Distress score = HPD open violations weighted by class and age (Class A/B/C issued in the last 12 months = 3/6/8 points each; older = 1/2/3) + 3 points per open DOB violation or active ECB violation + 1 point per $225 of past-due city charges (property tax and other DOF charges past their due date, excluding HPD emergency-repair charges), with that last part capped at 200 points ($45,000) because a few DOF balances are 100-280x the annual tax bill and look like data errors. Same weights as the Loan Maturity 2026 report. Universe: 4+ unit rental buildings (PLUTO classes C/D/S, co-ops and city-owned excluded). Violations and complaints as of 2026-08-06; charges as of the 2026-06-07 DOF extract.
