What the record shows

Bought and sold Yao, William appears on both sides of one building — bought, then sold. The shortest hold was 143-40 Roosevelt Avenue at 6.0 years. Where both prices were recorded, the resale came in higher by $11,000.

Bundled closings two buildings changed hands on a single day, 2014-12-18. Same-day multi-building transfers are portfolio deals rather than individual sales, and the buildings in them usually keep sharing an owner afterwards.

Repeat counterparty TSAMAS, JOAN 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.

Activity window Recorded activity for Yao, William runs from 2008 to 2021. Nothing has been recorded in the 5 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 Manhattan with three. Buying across boroughs points at an investor rather than a neighbourhood operator.
