Questions about 668 Water Street
Who owns 668 Water Street?

Has 668 Water Street changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 668 Water Street?
Yes. Four marshal-executed evictions at 668 Water Street appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Sep 5, 2025. 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 668 Water Street rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for 668 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 668 Water Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $26.3M 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 668 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.
