Any Idea on How to Locate Missing Homeowner

[Audrey Morgan]

An 80+ year old neighbor of a friend of mine went missing approximately 3 years ago without a trace. His wife died a few years earlier and no family member ever visited them. The home is abandoned with overgrown trees and shrubs. We contacted 311 and the New York City Department of Vital Statistics to inquire if homeowner is deceased but they will only provide information to family members, persons listed on the deed/insurance policies and Attorneys. Is there any other way to obtain this information. The post office no longer deliver mail to his house.

Thanks in advance for your help.
