Taxes and assessed value for 1940 1 Avenue
The city's Department of Finance assessed this lot at $22.6M for the 2026 tax year. That works out to $70K 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.

Questions about 1940 1 Avenue
Who owns 1940 1 Avenue?
The city's property file lists RIVER CROSSING OWNER HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FUND as the owner of record for 1940 1 Avenue. 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 1940 1 Avenue changed hands recently?
No deed for 1940 1 Avenue 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 1940 1 Avenue?
Yes. Five marshal-executed evictions at 1940 1 Avenue appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Jul 24, 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 1940 1 Avenue rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for 1940 1 Avenue 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 1940 1 Avenue assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $22.6M 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 1940 1 Avenue?
10029 (East Harlem) scores 29.8 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.
