Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Because subrogation strategy depends entirely on facts, a surveyor is uniquely positioned to establish precise ownership, boundaries, and historical property configuration; the exact foundation counsel needs before pursuing recovery from a third party.
That’s closer to the norm than the exception across older NYC and NY State properties, and it’s exactly what forensic research is built to handle: cross-referencing deeds, historical maps, and physical field evidence until the conflicts resolve.

Both. Ownership and responsibility questions surface just as often on a single-family lot as they do on a commercial parcel, and the same forensic research standard applies regardless of property size or claim value.
