Have there been evictions at 500 Gates Avenue?
No executed eviction at 500 Gates 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 500 Gates Avenue rent stabilized?

What is 500 Gates Avenue assessed at for property taxes?

What is the displacement risk around 500 Gates Avenue?
11216 (Bedford-Stuyvesant) scores 51.8 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.
