All told, as of Friday, about 1,000 of the country’s 3,600 recording offices had shut down or curtailed their hours, according to the American Land Title Association, a trade group crowdsourcing a closures list. The New York City area seems representative of the country as a whole. While the recording offices in all five of New York City’s boroughs were still open on Friday, many expect them to be closed on Monday. And in the suburbs on Friday, recording offices in New Jersey counties like Bergen, Hudson, Passaic and Essex were dark, like those in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, which have been hit hard by the virus. About 2,100 of the 3,600 offices allow electronic filings.
