The city's Department of Finance assessed this lot at $10.1M for the 2026 tax year. That works out to $39K 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.

Questions about 2491 8 Avenue
Who owns 2491 8 Avenue?
The city's property file lists PHILIP'S PARK HDFC as the owner of record for 2491 8 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 2491 8 Avenue changed hands recently?

Yes. 12 marshal-executed evictions at 2491 8 Avenue appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Apr 27, 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 2491 8 Avenue rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for 2491 8 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 2491 8 Avenue assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $10.1M 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 2491 8 Avenue?
10030 (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.
