Taxes and assessed value for 156 East 178 Street
The city's Department of Finance assessed this lot at $714K for the 2026 tax year. That works out to $20K per residential unit. Assessed value is what the city taxes, not what the building would sell for, and the two routinely differ by a wide margin.

Questions about 156 East 178 Street
Who owns 156 East 178 Street?
The city's property file lists 156 E 178 LLC as the owner of record for 156 East 178 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 156 East 178 Street changed hands recently?
No deed for 156 East 178 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.
Have there been evictions at 156 East 178 Street?
Yes. Three marshal-executed evictions at 156 East 178 Street appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on May 5, 2026. 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 156 East 178 Street rent stabilized?
DHCR registrations list 37 stabilized units at this building in 2018. 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 156 East 178 Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $714K 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 156 East 178 Street?
10453 (Morris Heights) scores 53.0 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.
