Questions about 420 East 72 Street
Who owns 420 East 72 Street?
The most recent deed on file for 420 East 72 Street names 420 East 72nd St Tenants CORP. Deeds record the party that took title, which is often a holding company rather than the operator managing the building.
Has 420 East 72 Street changed hands recently?
No deed for 420 East 72 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 420 East 72 Street?
Yes. One marshal-executed eviction at 420 East 72 Street appears in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Oct 21, 2024. 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 420 East 72 Street rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for 420 East 72 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 the displacement risk around 420 East 72 Street?
10021 (Upper East Side) scores 29.1 out of 100 on the PulseCities displacement index. The score reads five ZIP-level signals: eviction rate, LLC acquisition rate, permit intensity, assessment spikes, and 311 complaint volume. It describes the area around the building, not the building itself.
Sourced from NYC public records: ACRIS deeds, DOB permits, the NYC evictions dataset, and 311. Records reflect what agencies have published and can lag events.
