Questions about 1214 Shakespeare Avenue

Who owns 1214 Shakespeare Avenue?

The city's property file lists ABBY ASSOCIATES CORP as the owner of record for 1214 Shakespeare Avenue. 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 1214 Shakespeare Avenue changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 1214 Shakespeare Avenue?

Yes. One marshal-executed eviction at 1214 Shakespeare Avenue appears in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Dec 10, 2024. 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 1214 Shakespeare Avenue rent stabilized?

DHCR registrations list 38 stabilized units at this building in 2023. Registration is building-level, so it does not settle whether one apartment is stabilized. The free rent history from NYS Homes and Community Renewal does.

What is 1214 Shakespeare Avenue assessed at for property taxes?

The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $869K 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.
