Taxes and assessed value for 605 West 42 Street
The city's Department of Finance assessed this lot at $170.1M for the 2026 tax year. That works out to $146K per residential unit. Assessed value is what the city taxes, not what the building would sell for, and the two routinely differ by a wide margin.

Questions about 605 West 42 Street
Who owns 605 West 42 Street?
The city's property file lists a private individual as the owner of record for 605 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 605 West 42 Street changed hands recently?
No deed for 605 West 42 Street appears in the ACRIS records PulseCities holds. That means no transfer has been published for this lot in the current window, not that the building has never been sold.
Have there been evictions at 605 West 42 Street?
Yes. 36 marshal-executed evictions at 605 West 42 Street appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Jul 30, 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 605 West 42 Street rent stabilized?
DHCR registrations list 459 stabilized units at this building in 2022. Registration is building-level, so it does not settle whether one apartment is stabilized. The free rent history from NYS Homes and Community Renewal does.
What is 605 West 42 Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $170.1M 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 605 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.
