Has 1480 Popham Avenue changed hands recently?

Is 1480 Popham Avenue rent stabilized?

What is 1480 Popham Avenue assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $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 1480 Popham Avenue?
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.
