The city's property file lists 869 42ND STREET REALTY CORP. as the owner of record for 869 42 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 869 42 Street changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 869 42 Street?
No executed eviction at 869 42 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 869 42 Street rent stabilized?

What is 869 42 Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $388K 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 869 42 Street?
11232 (Sunset Park) scores 28.5 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.
