Have there been evictions at 39 5 Avenue?
No executed eviction at 39 5 Avenue 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 39 5 Avenue rent stabilized?
