Questions about 980 Avenue Of The Americas
Who owns 980 Avenue Of The Americas?
The city's property file lists VBG 990 AOA LLC as the owner of record for 980 Avenue Of The Americas. 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 980 Avenue Of The Americas changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 980 Avenue Of The Americas?
Yes. One marshal-executed eviction at 980 Avenue Of The Americas appears in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on May 23, 2024. 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 980 Avenue Of The Americas rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for 980 Avenue Of The Americas 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 980 Avenue Of The Americas assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $64.5M 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 980 Avenue Of The Americas?
10018 (Garment District) scores 14.3 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.
