Who owns 590 Dekalb Avenue?

Has 590 Dekalb Avenue changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 590 Dekalb Avenue?
Yes. One marshal-executed eviction at 590 Dekalb Avenue appears in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Feb 28, 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 590 Dekalb Avenue rent stabilized?
DHCR registrations list 110 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 590 Dekalb Avenue assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $5M 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.

11205 (Clinton Hill) scores 32.8 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.
