Taxes and assessed value
The city's Department of Finance assessed this lot at $1.6M for the 2026 tax year. That works out to $27K per residential unit.

Questions about 2542 University Avenue
Who owns 2542 University Avenue?

Has 2542 University Avenue changed hands recently?
No deed for 2542 University Avenue 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 2542 University Avenue?
Yes. One marshal-executed eviction at 2542 University Avenue appears in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Mar 27, 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 2542 University Avenue rent stabilized?
DHCR registrations list 58 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 2542 University Avenue assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $1.6M 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 2542 University Avenue?
10468 (University Heights) scores 57.3 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.
