Who owns 2802 Fredrick Douglass Bl?
The city's property file lists WHGA DUNBAR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FUND COR P as the owner of record for 2802 Fredrick Douglass Bl. 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 2802 Fredrick Douglass Bl changed hands recently?

Yes. 33 marshal-executed evictions at 2802 Fredrick Douglass Bl appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Sep 25, 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 2802 Fredrick Douglass Bl rent stabilized?

Yes. New York State granted 3 rent overcharge cases at this address, meaning DHCR found a tenant had been charged above the legal rent.

What is 2802 Fredrick Douglass Bl assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $15.7M 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.

10039 (Harlem) scores 52.0 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.
