Has 244 Madison Street changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 244 Madison Street?
No executed eviction at 244 Madison Street 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 244 Madison Street rent stabilized?

What is 244 Madison Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $878K 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 244 Madison Street?
11216 (Bedford-Stuyvesant) scores 51.8 out of 100 on the PulseCities displacement index.
