Johnson, Ruth appears in 19 NYC deed transactions across 7 buildings. Dates, counterparties, and addresses from public records.
Round trips Johnson, Ruth appears on both sides of four buildings — bought, then sold. The shortest hold was 245 Lenox Avenue at 3 months. Neither leg of that trade carried a recorded price.
Repeat counterparty ROLS CAPITAL CO is on the other side of two of these transfers. A name that recurs across deeds is usually an affiliate, a lender, or the same principal filing under a second entity — it is not by itself evidence of either.
Transfers without a price 13 of the 19 recorded transfers carry no sale price. Zero-consideration deeds are routine for restructurings, family transfers, and moves between affiliated entities — they mean the parties changed, not necessarily that the building was sold.
Activity window Recorded activity for Johnson, Ruth runs from 1969 to 1988. Nothing has been recorded in the 37 years since — the entity may still hold the buildings, or a later transfer may sit under a different name.
Spread across boroughs The buildings span two boroughs, led by Brooklyn with four. Buying across boroughs points at an investor rather than a neighbourhood operator.
