Questions about 500 West 170 Street
Who owns 500 West 170 Street?
The city's property file lists 500 W 170 LLC as the owner of record for 500 West 170 Street. 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 500 West 170 Street changed hands recently?
No deed for 500 West 170 Street 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 500 West 170 Street?
Yes. Six marshal-executed evictions at 500 West 170 Street appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Aug 13, 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 500 West 170 Street rent stabilized?
DHCR registrations list 16 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 500 West 170 Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $826K 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 500 West 170 Street?
10032 (Washington Heights) scores 46.3 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.
