Is there a way to get name of the owner of a place given the place? (MarketplaceService and AssetService return nil or Not Found.)

Yes, via a method I consider quite hackish:
local market = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local placeid = 137913728 -- same id
local ProductInfo = market:GetProductInfo(placeid)
if ProductInfo then
print(ProductInfo.Creator.Name)
end
Also worth nothing: ProductInfo.Creator.Id returns the user id of that name.
You can use this on any place - also places which is not the running place. Just fill in the place id.

This isn't hackish at all... you're getting the info on an asset. How is that hackish?

I disagree. Marketplace service is intended to be used on catalog items, not places. I consider that hackish.

They should not return nil or Not Found - if they do you are doing something wrong.
