Questions about 2161 5 Avenue
Who owns 2161 5 Avenue?
The most recent deed on file for 2161 5 Avenue names NYC Housing Authority. Deeds record the party that took title, which is often a holding company rather than the operator managing the building.
Has 2161 5 Avenue changed hands recently?
No deed for 2161 5 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 2161 5 Avenue?
Yes. Four marshal-executed evictions at 2161 5 Avenue appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Apr 21, 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 2161 5 Avenue rent stabilized?
DHCR registrations list 161 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 the displacement risk around 2161 5 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.
