Digging Out from the Information Blizzard

BY H. Lynn Wishart
June 28, 2007

It seems that information flows unabated onto the desktop or into the PDA 24/7. For many years, information was contained by fee-based access to aggregators, like LexisNexis and Westlaw, or obtained through the services of a third party. In the last few years, the governmental units and private data creators have begun to distribute information directly through the Internet. Much property information now comes from freely available, or reasonably priced, sources on the Internet. And it is available 24/7.

An article published in the March 12, 2007 issue of the New York Law Journal (a sister publication of this newsletter) introduces many of the Web sites needed for real-estate litigation, real-estate transactions, and landlord-tenant practice in New York City. Some of the same Web sites are mentioned below, although this article is intended to complement the references given in the above-mentioned 'Harnessing the Internet,' by Adam Leitman Bailey and Colin E. Kaufman. This article looks first at ways to keep abreast of what is happening in the business and legal marketplaces, and then identifies local Web sites that provide significant amounts of data useful in real-estate transactions or litigation.
