The tax bills (as we just checked online to be sure) are still being issued to the woman that died in 2009.
And our house was for sale in 2016, which is when we bought. And we're not selling haha
Have the taxes been paid since 2009? You can check payments at the same website. She could have next of kin you don’t know about who is making tax payments.

Or maybe someone bought the tax lien and continues to make the tax payments while whatever they shell out accumulates the guaranteed 18% per year interest.Eventually they will get all of it back with all of the accumulated and compounded 18% or they will get the title.
Taking over tax liens is a very sweet deal. Some do it professionally. They have no liability... just sit and wait for a guaranteed payoff or taking the title. You can't lose.

Would my attachment from just before of years of unpaid taxes rule out this possibility?
No one!! As the tax assessment never stops going up, so this is roughly what, 7-8 years of unpaid taxes?
Did you find out if there is a tax lien on the property yet? Keep us posted man. Hopefully you will get some good guidance on here to get you through this. It's a new Year New Yorkers, if you have valuable info to help, then post here and help.

Thanks for the help! There's only one property on my street that has a Lien and it's a block away. So, although this property is YEARS of unpaid taxes, there's no Lien on it.
Where the water coming from? If it a plumbing leak, I would go over and shut off the water.
No it's the roof next door allows water in somewhere and then after about an hour of consistent rain it begins making it's way into my upstairs spare bedroom. Or any accumulation of melting snow.
Many have suggested us just illegally hiring a contractor to redo the roof next door, but, we have also been advised that doing this would make any legal challenge for compensation for our damage and all things related to legal proceedings, would become complicated/compromised.
There should be some type of party wall easement filed to see what should happen in instances like this, now that I'm thinking about it.
You need to contact NYC Department of Records or NYC Department of Finance and ask them if there are any records of a party wall easement. Provide your block and lot number and the adjoining property's block & lot number. Might not be much but it might help.
Party wall means you share a wall with another house, that wall is called the party wall. The easement is a document that basically sets the agreement of what the party wall entails, like who's in charge of repairs and stuff. A good lawyer would have included that in the easement. Usually lawyers are the ones who draft easements.

No, not at all. If someone or some entity purchases a tax lien, the lien stays on the property until it is paid in full with accumulated interest. The amount owed to the lien holder just keeps growing and growing. It becomes impossible for their to be a transfer of the deed without the lien being paid in full.
