Who owns 695 Franklin Avenue?
The city's property file lists UHAB HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FUND CORPORATIO N as the owner of record for 695 Franklin 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 695 Franklin Avenue changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 695 Franklin Avenue?
No executed eviction at 695 Franklin Avenue 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 695 Franklin Avenue rent stabilized?

What is 695 Franklin Avenue assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $1M 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 695 Franklin 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.
