Questions about 703 East 137 Street
Who owns 703 East 137 Street?
The city's property file lists 699 VENTURE CORP as the owner of record for 703 East 137 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 703 East 137 Street changed hands recently?
No deed for 703 East 137 Street appears in the ACRIS records PulseCities holds. That means no transfer has been published for this lot in the current window, not that the building has never been sold.

Yes. Six marshal-executed evictions at 703 East 137 Street appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Apr 30, 2025. 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 703 East 137 Street rent stabilized?

Yes. New York State granted 1 rent overcharge case at this address, meaning DHCR found a tenant had been charged above the legal rent. A granted case covers the apartment that brought it rather than the building, and only apartments whose tenants filed appear at all. The figures come from a freedom of information response covering cases closed between January 2021 and April 2026.
What is 703 East 137 Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $382K 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 703 East 137 Street?
10454 (Port Morris) scores 35.9 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.
