Not a government office or records custodian. Jamestown Residents Directory is a private reference service. We cannot retrieve, certify, change, or remove an official record, and we cannot confirm a person's present address. Direct those requests to the office that holds the record. For an emergency, call 911. If someone is stalking or harassing you, contact local police.
Finding the Right Record
Use the route that matches the record rather than sending a general request to this private reference.
- Address, owner, or parcel history: use the Jamestown by-street directory.
- Printed volumes and older households: use Jamestown city directories.
- One person's official-record trail: use the resident lookup.
- Office contacts and current sources: see Jamestown records offices.
- Records absent from a public portal: submit a narrow request under New York Freedom of Information Law to the relevant custodian.
City public-records contact: Jamestown City Clerk, Municipal Building, 200 E Third Street, first floor, Jamestown, NY 14701; 716-483-7612; clerk@jamestownny.gov; Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The City Clerk is the City Records Access Officer under City Code ยง220 and routes city vital, permit, council, and FOIL matters.
County land and historical records: Chautauqua County Clerk, 3 N Erie Street, Mayville, NY 14757; 716-753-4000. For land-record copying and recording, the research lists 716-753-4331. Confirm the receiving office before an archival visit because an older court page still shows a historic county address.
