Taxes and assessed value for 199 Avenue B
The city's Department of Finance assessed this lot at $3.5M for the 2026 tax year. That works out to $153K per residential unit. Assessed value is what the city taxes, not what the building would sell for, and the two routinely differ by a wide margin. The bill itself turns on the tax class rate and on any exemptions or abatements attached to the lot, neither of which is published here.
No executed evictions at 199 Avenue B
No executed eviction is on record at 199 Avenue B in the citywide marshal file, which runs from April 2024.
Rent stabilization at 199 Avenue B
DHCR registration records list 22 rent-stabilized units at this building in 2023, the most recent year PulseCities holds. Registration is building-level and does not settle the status of any single apartment; the rent history does. Checking your own apartment starts with the free rent history from the state. That is the only binding answer, and it takes time to come back. While you wait, you can get an email when the record here moves: a deed, an eviction, a permit or a violation filed on this building.

Questions about 199 Avenue B
Who owns 199 Avenue B?
The city's property file lists EAST VILLAGE II HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FUND CORP as the owner of record for 199 Avenue B. 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 199 Avenue B changed hands recently?
No deed for 199 Avenue B 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 199 Avenue B?
No executed eviction at 199 Avenue B appears in the NYC evictions dataset, which PulseCities holds from April 2024 forward. Executed evictions are the end of the process, so a building with none may still have active housing court cases.
Is 199 Avenue B rent stabilized?
DHCR registrations list 22 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 199 Avenue B assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $3.5M 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 199 Avenue B?
10009 (East Village) scores 20.1 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.
