Questions about 646 Lenox Avenue
Who owns 646 Lenox Avenue?
The most recent deed on file for 646 Lenox Avenue names Bethune Towers. Deeds record the party that took title, which is often a holding company rather than the operator managing the building.
Has 646 Lenox Avenue changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 646 Lenox Avenue?
Yes. Three marshal-executed evictions at 646 Lenox Avenue appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Mar 16, 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 646 Lenox Avenue rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for 646 Lenox 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 the displacement risk around 646 Lenox Avenue?
10037 (Harlem) scores 46.3 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.
