Has 491 Gerard Avenue changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 491 Gerard Avenue?
Yes. Six marshal-executed evictions at 491 Gerard Avenue appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Sep 15, 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 491 Gerard Avenue rent stabilized?

What is 491 Gerard Avenue assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $12M 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 491 Gerard Avenue?
10451 (Mott Haven) scores 44.2 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.
