Questions about 253 Sherman Avenue
Who owns 253 Sherman Avenue?

Has 253 Sherman Avenue changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 253 Sherman Avenue?
Yes. One marshal-executed eviction at 253 Sherman Avenue appears in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Sep 23, 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 253 Sherman Avenue rent stabilized?

What is 253 Sherman Avenue assessed at for property taxes?

What is the displacement risk around 253 Sherman Avenue?
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.
