Taxes and assessed value for 541 West 204 Street
The city's Department of Finance assessed this lot at $2.4M for the 2026 tax year. That works out to $41K 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.

Questions about 541 West 204 Street
Who owns 541 West 204 Street?
The city's property file lists 204 REALTY LLC as the owner of record for 541 West 204 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 541 West 204 Street changed hands recently?
No deed for 541 West 204 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 541 West 204 Street?
Yes. Three marshal-executed evictions at 541 West 204 Street appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Nov 25, 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 541 West 204 Street rent stabilized?
DHCR registrations list 77 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 541 West 204 Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $2.4M 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 541 West 204 Street?
10034 (Inwood) scores 43.5 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.
