Has 870 East 163 Street changed hands recently?

No executed eviction at 870 East 163 Street 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 870 East 163 Street rent stabilized?

What is 870 East 163 Street assessed at for property taxes?
