Yes. Two marshal-executed evictions at 138 East 50Th Street appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Aug 5, 2025. 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 138 East 50Th Street rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for 138 East 50Th 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.
