Questions about 289 East 161 Street
Who owns 289 East 161 Street?
The city's property file lists BRONX 161 LLC as the owner of record for 289 East 161 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 289 East 161 Street changed hands recently?

Yes. Three marshal-executed evictions at 289 East 161 Street appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Sep 25, 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 289 East 161 Street rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for 289 East 161 Street appears in the years PulseCities holds. That is a gap in the registration record rather than an answer about any apartment, and the free rent history from NYS Homes and Community Renewal is what settles it.
What is 289 East 161 Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $8.2M 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.
