Taxes and assessed value

Who owns 20 East 179 Street?

Has 20 East 179 Street changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 20 East 179 Street?
Yes. One marshal-executed eviction at 20 East 179 Street appears in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Mar 4, 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 20 East 179 Street rent stabilized?
DHCR registrations list 30 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 20 East 179 Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $744K 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 20 East 179 Street?
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.
