Taxes and assessed value for 514 East 12 Street
The city's Department of Finance assessed this lot at $1.3M for the 2026 tax year. That works out to $67K 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.
514 East 12 Street is on HPD's Speculation Watch List
HPD added this building to the list after the sale recorded on April 23, 2021, for $9.5 million. It puts the capitalization rate on this sale at 4%, against a median of 5.6% for Manhattan sales in the same quarter. A capitalization rate compares a building's price with the income it brings in, so a rate under the borough median means the buyer paid more than today's rents would usually justify. The city keeps the list under Local Law 7 of 2018, and only rent-regulated buildings can be on it. The listing is about the price. It is not a finding that the buyer did anything wrong.

Rent stabilization at 514 East 12 Street
DHCR registration records list 15 rent-stabilized units at this building in 2023, the most recent year PulseCities holds. That is down from 17 units in 2018. 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 514 East 12 Street
Who owns 514 East 12 Street?
The city's property file lists EVP 514 EAST 12TH ST LLC as the owner of record for 514 East 12 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 514 East 12 Street changed hands recently?
No deed for 514 East 12 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 514 East 12 Street?
Yes. One marshal-executed eviction at 514 East 12 Street appears in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Apr 15, 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 514 East 12 Street rent stabilized?
DHCR registrations list 15 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 514 East 12 Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $1.3M 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 514 East 12 Street?
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.
