More details to this question:
I have someone harassing me through text and phone calls. I have repeatedly requested that they stop. The harassment has continued. This person has now started to defame my name on social networking sites. Can I take legal action against them?

Sure. You can also get s copy of the deed. If it's in the five boros of New York City, use the ACRIS system (just google NYC ACRIS and follow the prompts). Outside of NYC, YMMV, and you may have to schlep to the county clerk's office.

Call your local police department, they'll tell you what to do. Either they will take the complaint and pass it to the jurisdiction in NY where enforcement will occur or they will direct you there. Good luck.
