Taxes and assessed value for 480 West 187 Street
The city's Department of Finance assessed this lot at $2.5M for the 2026 tax year. That works out to $38K 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. The bill itself turns on the tax class rate and on any exemptions or abatements attached to the lot, neither of which is published here.
480 West 187 Street is on HPD's Speculation Watch List
HPD added this building to the list after the sale recorded on March 4, 2022, for $15.3 million. It puts the capitalization rate on this sale at 3.7%, against a median of 5% for Manhattan sales in the same quarter. A capitalization rate compares a building's price with the income it brings in, so a rate under the borough median means the buyer paid more than today's rents would usually justify. The city keeps the list under Local Law 7 of 2018, and only rent-regulated buildings can be on it. The listing is about the price. It is not a finding that the buyer did anything wrong.

DHCR registration records list 59 rent-stabilized units at this building in 2023, the most recent year PulseCities holds. That is down from 61 units in 2018.

That is the only binding answer, and it takes time to come back. While you wait, you can get an email when the record here moves: a deed, an eviction, a permit or a violation filed on this building.
