Is 325 West 42 Street rent stabilized?

What is 325 West 42 Street assessed at for property taxes?

What is the displacement risk around 325 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.
