Is 497 St Marks Avenue rent stabilized?

What is 497 St Marks Avenue assessed at for property taxes?

What is the displacement risk around 497 St Marks 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.
