Taxes and assessed value for 960 Amsterdam Avenue

The city's Department of Finance assessed this lot at $1.3M for the 2026 tax year. That works out to $65K 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.

Rent stabilization at 960 Amsterdam Avenue

DHCR registration records list 9 rent-stabilized units at this building in 2023, the most recent year PulseCities holds.

Questions about 960 Amsterdam Avenue

Who owns 960 Amsterdam Avenue?

The city's property file lists HECSOMAR REALTY CORP. as the owner of record for 960 Amsterdam 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 960 Amsterdam Avenue changed hands recently?

No deed for 960 Amsterdam 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 960 Amsterdam Avenue?

No executed eviction at 960 Amsterdam 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 960 Amsterdam Avenue rent stabilized?

DHCR registrations list 9 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 960 Amsterdam Avenue assessed at for property taxes?

The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $1.3M 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 960 Amsterdam Avenue?

10025 (Morningside Heights) scores 23.1 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.
