Have there been evictions at 1187 Clay Avenue?
No executed eviction at 1187 Clay Avenue appears in the NYC evictions dataset, which PulseCities holds from April 2024 forward. Executed evictions are the end of the process, so a building with none may still have active housing court cases.
Is 1187 Clay Avenue rent stabilized?

What is 1187 Clay Avenue assessed at for property taxes?

What is the displacement risk around 1187 Clay Avenue?
10456 (Morrisania) scores 53.8 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.
