Taxes and assessed value for 3242 Decatur Avenue
The city's Department of Finance assessed this lot at $878K for the 2026 tax year. That works out to $28K 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. The bill itself turns on the tax class rate and on any exemptions or abatements attached to the lot, neither of which is published here.
3242 Decatur Avenue is on HPD's Speculation Watch List
HPD added this building to the list after the sale recorded on November 24, 2020, for $3.5 million. It puts the capitalization rate on this sale at 4.6%, against a median of 4.7% for Bronx sales in the same quarter. A capitalization rate compares a building's price with the income it brings in, so a rate under the borough median means the buyer paid more than today's rents would usually justify. The city keeps the list under Local Law 7 of 2018, and only rent-regulated buildings can be on it. The listing is about the price. It is not a finding that the buyer did anything wrong.

Who owns 3242 Decatur Avenue?
The city's property file lists 3242 DECATUR ASSOCIATES LLC as the owner of record for 3242 Decatur Avenue. 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 3242 Decatur Avenue changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 3242 Decatur Avenue?
Yes. One marshal-executed eviction at 3242 Decatur Avenue appears in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Oct 15, 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 3242 Decatur Avenue 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 3242 Decatur Avenue assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $878K 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 3242 Decatur Avenue?
10467 (Norwood) scores 42.2 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.
