Taxes and assessed value for 605 Water Street
The city's Department of Finance assessed this lot at $4.7M for the 2026 tax year. That works out to $38K per residential unit.

Questions about 605 Water Street
Who owns 605 Water Street?
The city's property file lists GOUVENEUR GARDENS HSG. CORP. as the owner of record for 605 Water Street. No deed for this lot appears in the ACRIS records PulseCities holds, so that name comes from the tax roll rather than from a recorded transfer.
Has 605 Water Street changed hands recently?
No deed for 605 Water Street appears in the ACRIS records PulseCities holds. That means no transfer has been published for this lot in the current window, not that the building has never been sold.
Have there been evictions at 605 Water Street?
Yes. Three marshal-executed evictions at 605 Water Street appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Mar 31, 2026. The dataset covers executed evictions only, so it undercounts housing court activity: cases that settle or end in a move-out never reach a marshal.
Is 605 Water Street rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for 605 Water Street appears in the years PulseCities holds. That is a gap in the registration record rather than an answer about any apartment, and the free rent history from NYS Homes and Community Renewal is what settles it.
What is 605 Water Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $4.7M for the 2026 tax year. That is the figure the city taxes rather than a sale price, and the bill depends on the tax class rate and on any exemptions on the lot.
What is the displacement risk around 605 Water Street?
10002 (Chinatown) scores 18.2 out of 100 on the PulseCities displacement index. The score reads five ZIP-level signals: LLC acquisition rate, permit intensity, 311 complaint volume, executed evictions, and serious HPD violations. It describes the area around the building, not the building itself.
