Have there been evictions at 1940 Lexington Avenue?
No executed eviction at 1940 Lexington Avenue appears in the NYC evictions dataset, which PulseCities holds from April 2024 forward. Executed evictions are the end of the process, so a building with none may still have active housing court cases.
Is 1940 Lexington Avenue rent stabilized?
