This is not a government office or records custodian. We operate a private reference service and cannot retrieve, certify, or alter public records, verify who lives at an address, or remove a person from a public roll. For an emergency call 911. If someone is stalking or harassing you, contact law enforcement.
Finding the Right Record
Use the official custodian for the specific record. Address-based property and ownership research belongs with the Town of Colonie street directory sources. The city directory lists historical collections, and the resident lookup explains a cautious single-person search. Records not available online may require a request under New York Freedom of Information Law from the office that holds them.
