There's now a new tool to make searching for the city's public records a lot easier.

Mayor Bill de Blasio has announced the launch of an expanded City Record Online -- a website that is now a fully searchable database for all the notices contained in the City Record newspaper.

This includes schedules for public hearings, land sales and contract awards.

It's in accordance with Local Law 38, which requires the paper to be posted online in a searchable and downloadable format.
