Yes. Five marshal-executed evictions at 1551 St Nicholas Avenue appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Oct 8, 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 1551 St Nicholas Avenue rent stabilized?
