Questions about 119 Hester Street
Who owns 119 Hester Street?

Has 119 Hester Street changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 119 Hester Street?
Yes. One marshal-executed eviction at 119 Hester Street appears in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Sep 29, 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 119 Hester Street rent stabilized?
DHCR registrations list 12 stabilized units at this building in 2023. Registration is building-level, so it does not settle whether one apartment is stabilized. The free rent history from NYS Homes and Community Renewal does.
What is the displacement risk around 119 Hester Street?
10002 (Chinatown) scores 19.2 out of 100 on the PulseCities displacement index. The score reads five ZIP-level signals: eviction rate, LLC acquisition rate, permit intensity, assessment spikes, and 311 complaint volume. It describes the area around the building, not the building itself.
Sourced from NYC public records: ACRIS deeds, DOB permits, the NYC evictions dataset, and 311. Records reflect what agencies have published and can lag events.
