Has 327 West 42 Street changed hands recently?

No executed eviction at 327 West 42 Street 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 327 West 42 Street rent stabilized?

What is 327 West 42 Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $2.2M 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 327 West 42 Street?
10036 (Hell's Kitchen) scores 19.6 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.
