New York City BIS Data Incorrect
If I look my building in the BIS system by Borough, Block, and Lot number, the incorrect building address is returned. When I look up the same BBL in the Department of Finance system, the correct data is returned. I called the BIS Help Desk and all they said is that I had to go…
If I look my building in the BIS system by Borough, Block, and Lot number, the incorrect building address is returned. When I look up the same BBL in the Department of Finance system, the correct data is returned. I called the BIS Help Desk and all they said is that I had to go to the Borough Presidents office to get a certified tax map.
I’m willing to take a trip down there, but I want to make sure that my trip is worthwhile. Has anyone gone through this process before and do you have any tips on streamlining the process?
don’t count on any single visit to any city agency to answer any question. If any city employee answers a question sucessfully, that is only beacsue they know the answer AND it is in their job description to tell you the CORRECT answer. This is a rare concurrence. If they do successfully answer your question, they are either in danger of then having to possibly sucessfully answer ANOTHER question or it is possible that they may be found to be purely superfulous EXCEPT that they are an intergral part of THE PROCESS, the one that they created to create a need for themseleves.
I had this happen, too. The City was senidng bills to some management agent we’d never heard of. I sent in the DEP form twice and still no luck. For a time I paid by looking up at the water link on finance. Then I called and fussed at someone and said I’d like for you to send me a bill, too. And now they do.
just send in a change of address form for billings – with the correct address!
It returns the wrong address. As a result, my water bill was sent to the wrong address and my account has become delinquent. I know it’s not the biggest deal in the world, but would like to get it resolved.
Sure you need to take that action? Is it just an AKA address that shows up in the BBL search or is the info way off? What’s the address you’re looking up?
