Taxes and assessed value for 849 42 Street
The city's Department of Finance assessed this lot at $410K for the 2026 tax year. That works out to $20K 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.

Who owns 849 42 Street?
The city's property file lists BG5 LLC as the owner of record for 849 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 849 42 Street changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 849 42 Street?
No executed eviction at 849 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 849 42 Street rent stabilized?
DHCR registrations list 20 stabilized units at this building in 2018. 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 849 42 Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $410K 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 849 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.
