Questions about 1609 East 172 Street
Who owns 1609 East 172 Street?
The city's property file lists a private individual as the owner of record for 1609 East 172 Street. 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 1609 East 172 Street changed hands recently?
No deed for 1609 East 172 Street 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 1609 East 172 Street?
No executed eviction at 1609 East 172 Street appears in the NYC evictions dataset, which PulseCities holds from April 2024 forward. Executed evictions are the end of the process, so a building with none may still have active housing court cases.
Is 1609 East 172 Street rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for 1609 East 172 Street appears in the years PulseCities holds. That is a gap in the registration record rather than an answer about any apartment, and the free rent history from NYS Homes and Community Renewal is what settles it.
What is 1609 East 172 Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $294K 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.
