Questions about 20 Morningside Avenue
Who owns 20 Morningside Avenue?
The city's property file lists MORNINGSIDE I HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FUND C ORPORATION as the owner of record for 20 Morningside 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 20 Morningside Avenue changed hands recently?
No deed for 20 Morningside 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 20 Morningside Avenue?
Yes. Three marshal-executed evictions at 20 Morningside Avenue appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Sep 9, 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 20 Morningside Avenue rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for 20 Morningside 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 20 Morningside Avenue assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $13.6M 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 20 Morningside Avenue?
10026 (Harlem) scores 53.1 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.
