Who owns 997 East 163 Street?
The city's property file lists LONGWOOD RESIDENCES HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FUND as the owner of record for 997 East 163 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 997 East 163 Street changed hands recently?
No deed for 997 East 163 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. Two marshal-executed evictions at 997 East 163 Street appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Oct 28, 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 997 East 163 Street rent stabilized?

What is 997 East 163 Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $4.6M 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 997 East 163 Street?
10459 (Longwood) scores 54.9 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.
