What is 705 West 179 Street assessed at for property taxes?

What is the displacement risk around 705 West 179 Street?
10033 (Washington Heights) scores 43.6 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.
