Taxes and assessed value

Has 2851 8 Avenue changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 2851 8 Avenue?
Yes. One marshal-executed eviction at 2851 8 Avenue appears in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Nov 14, 2024. 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 2851 8 Avenue rent stabilized?
DHCR registrations list 20 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 2851 8 Avenue assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $572K 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 2851 8 Avenue?
10039 (Harlem) scores 50.7 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.
