Taxes and assessed value
The city's Department of Finance assessed this lot at $9.9M for the 2026 tax year. That works out to $54K 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. The bill itself turns on the tax class rate and on any exemptions or abatements attached to the lot, neither of which is published here.

Has 217 East 88 Street changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 217 East 88 Street?
Yes. One marshal-executed eviction at 217 East 88 Street appears in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Nov 7, 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 217 East 88 Street rent stabilized?
DHCR registrations list 114 stabilized units at this building in 2023. 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 217 East 88 Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $9.9M 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 217 East 88 Street?
10128 (Upper East Side) scores 23.4 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.
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.
