Who owns 635 West 42 Street?
The city's property file lists a private individual as the owner of record for 635 West 42 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 635 West 42 Street changed hands recently?

Yes. One marshal-executed eviction at 635 West 42 Street appears in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Aug 20, 2026. 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 635 West 42 Street rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for 635 West 42 Street 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 635 West 42 Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $64.2M 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 635 West 42 Street?
10036 (Hell's Kitchen) scores 19.6 out of 100 on the PulseCities displacement index.
