Taxes and assessed value
The city's Department of Finance assessed this lot at $14.2M for the 2026 tax year. That works out to $88K 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 89 Lenox Avenue
Who owns 89 Lenox Avenue?
The most recent deed on file for 89 Lenox Avenue names Church Home Rental Housing Dev. Fund CO. INC.. Deeds record the party that took title, which is often a holding company rather than the operator managing the building.
Has 89 Lenox Avenue changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 89 Lenox Avenue?
Yes. Four marshal-executed evictions at 89 Lenox Avenue appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Sep 3, 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 89 Lenox Avenue rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for 89 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 89 Lenox Avenue assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $14.2M 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 89 Lenox Avenue?
10026 (Harlem) scores 50.6 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.
