The city's property file lists 679 681 CLASSON AVE LLC as the owner of record for 681 Classon 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 681 Classon Avenue changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 681 Classon Avenue?

Yes. One marshal-executed eviction at 681 Classon Avenue appears in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Mar 3, 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 681 Classon Avenue rent stabilized?

DHCR registrations list 7 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 681 Classon Avenue assessed at for property taxes?

The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $861K 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 681 Classon Avenue?

11238 (Prospect Heights) scores 35.3 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.
