Has 281 Brook Avenue changed hands recently?

Yes. Five marshal-executed evictions at 281 Brook Avenue appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Apr 20, 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 281 Brook Avenue rent stabilized?

What is 281 Brook Avenue assessed at for property taxes?
