Taxes and assessed value

Has 1735 Townsend Avenue changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 1735 Townsend Avenue?
Yes. One marshal-executed eviction at 1735 Townsend Avenue appears in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Oct 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 1735 Townsend Avenue rent stabilized?
DHCR registrations list 54 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 1735 Townsend Avenue assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $2.1M 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 1735 Townsend Avenue?
10453 (Morris Heights) scores 54.1 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.
Sourced from NYC public records: ACRIS deeds, DOB permits, the NYC evictions dataset, and 311. Records reflect what agencies have published and can lag events.
