NYC Property Sales Scraper — Rolling Sales Records

NYC Property Sales Scraper exports New York City property sales records from the NYC Department of Finance rolling sales dataset and returns each sale's address, unit, ZIP code, borough, neighborhood, sale price, sale date, building class, units, square footage, year built, block and lot. It is built for comparable-sales research, appraisers, brokers, investors and data teams, and costs about USD 2.00 per 1,000 sales on the FREE tier (USD 0.002001 each) plus a USD 0.006251 start fee per run.

It reads the official NYC Open Data copy of the rolling sales file. It does not return active listings or owner names.

What are NYC rolling sales?

The rolling sales file is the Department of Finance's list of recorded property sales in the five boroughs over roughly the last 12 months, refreshed monthly. When checked on 2026-10-26 it covered sales dated 2025-10-01 to 2026-09-30, including 15,312 Manhattan sales above USD 0. This Actor filters that file and returns clean, typed records.

How do I get NYC property sales records for a neighborhood or ZIP code?

Pick a borough and add any filters. All text filters ignore case and match part of the value, except ZIP code, which is exact.

{
  "borough": "brooklyn",
  "buildingClassCategory": "CONDO",
  "minSalePrice": 500000,
  "maxSalePrice": 2000000,
  "saleDateFrom": "2026-06-01",
  "sortBy": "newest",
  "maxResults": 250
}

Input	Default	Notes
borough	manhattan	manhattan, bronx, brooklyn, queens, staten-island or all
neighborhood	empty	Part of the DOF neighborhood name, for example UPPER WEST SIDE
addressContains	empty	Part of the street address, for example PARK AVENUE
zipCode	empty	One exact five-digit ZIP code, for example 11201
buildingClassCategory	empty	Part of the DOF category, for example CONDO or ONE FAMILY
saleDateFrom / saleDateTo	empty	Inclusive YYYY-MM-DD bounds
minSalePrice / maxSalePrice	empty	Inclusive USD bounds
includeZeroDollarSales	false	Include USD 0 transfers, which are usually not market sales. A minimum price overrides this
sortBy	newest	newest, oldest, price-high or price-low
maxResults	100	1–10,000 records per run
maxRequestRetries	2	0–5 retries for rate limits, server errors and timeouts

An empty input runs the default: the 100 newest Manhattan sales above USD 0. A date range that ends before it starts, or a minimum price above the maximum, is rejected before any request.

What data does NYC Property Sales Scraper return?

Field	What it means
saleId	Stable ID built from borough, block, lot, date, price and address, used for deduplication
borough / boroughCode	Borough name and DOF code (1 Manhattan to 5 Staten Island)
neighborhood / address / apartmentNumber / zipCode	Location as recorded by DOF
salePrice / currency / saleDate	Recorded price in USD and sale date
buildingClassCategory	For example 13 CONDOS - ELEVATOR APARTMENTS or 01 ONE FAMILY DWELLINGS
buildingClassAtPresent / buildingClassAtTimeOfSale	Two-character building class codes such as R4
taxClassAtPresent / taxClassAtTimeOfSale	NYC property tax class
block / lot / easement	Borough tax-lot identifiers
residentialUnits / commercialUnits / totalUnits	Unit counts when recorded
landSquareFeet / grossSquareFeet / yearBuilt	Size and age when recorded (often empty for condo units)
sourceDataset / sourceUrl / fetchedAt	Dataset name, NYC Open Data page and UTC time

Missing values are null, never guessed. The SUMMARY record gives the outcome (data, partial, empty, rejected or failed), records delivered, total matches, requests and warnings.

When should you use it, and when not?

Use it to:

• pull recent comparable sales for a building, street, ZIP code or neighborhood;
• track sale prices by building class or price band across a borough;
• load a clean year of NYC transactions into a spreadsheet, BI tool or model.

Do not use it for:

• homes currently for sale or rent: use StreetEasy Scraper;
• deeds, mortgages or owner names, which this file does not contain;
• sales older than the rolling 12 months, or radius searches around a point;
• New Jersey parcels: use NJ Property Tax Records.

How do I run it from code?

Call the Actor with the id muhammadafzal/nyc-property-sales-scraper.

JavaScript (apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('muhammadafzal/nyc-property-sales-scraper').call({
  borough: 'queens',
  zipCode: '11101',
  maxResults: 50,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.map((i) => [i.saleDate, i.address, i.salePrice]));

Python (apify-client):

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("muhammadafzal/nyc-property-sales-scraper").call(
    run_input={"borough": "manhattan", "neighborhood": "UPPER WEST SIDE", "sortBy": "price-high", "maxResults": 25},
)
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item["saleDate"], item["address"], item["salePrice"], item["buildingClassCategory"])

Use it from an AI assistant

NYC Property Sales Scraper works from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client through Apify's MCP server. Add https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=muhammadafzal/nyc-property-sales-scraper as a server, then ask, for example: "List the 20 most expensive condo sales in ZIP 10011 in the last six months, with price and sale date." The agent sees the input schema and the price per record before it runs.

How much do NYC property sales records cost? Pricing

You pay per sale record returned plus a start fee. Apify platform usage is included. A search with no match pays only the start fee.

Event (USD)	FREE	BRONZE	SILVER	GOLD, PLATINUM, DIAMOND
NYC property sale record	0.002001	0.00195	0.0019	0.0016
Actor start, per started GB of allocated memory	0.006251	0.006094	0.005938	0.005

The default memory is 256 MB, so each run has one start event.

• Default 100 sales, FREE tier: USD 0.006251 + 100 × 0.002001 = about USD 0.21.
• 10,000 sales, GOLD tier: USD 0.005 + 10,000 × 0.0016 = about USD 16.01.

The Actor checks your run's spending cap before each record and stops cleanly when the next one would exceed it. Note: the start status line and SUMMARY.estimatedResultCostUsd still use an older figure of USD 0.0005 per record; your actual charge follows the table above.

FAQ

Is this official NYC Department of Finance data?

Yes. It is the Department of Finance rolling sales file as published on NYC Open Data. The Actor only filters and normalizes it.

How far back do the sales go?

About 12 months. On 2026-10-26 the earliest sale date was 2025-10-01. For older years, use the Department of Finance's annual sales files.

Why are some prices USD 0?

USD 0 records are usually transfers between family members or entities, not market sales. They are excluded unless you enable includeZeroDollarSales.

Can I get every sale in all five boroughs?

Yes. Set borough to all and maxResults up to 10,000 per run; split by date range for more.

Does it include buyer or seller names?

No. The rolling sales file has no party names. Deed parties are in the city's ACRIS records, which this Actor does not read.

How often is the data updated?

The city refreshes the file monthly. Each run reads the current copy.
