Questions about 185 Clinton Avenue
Who owns 185 Clinton Avenue?
The most recent deed on file for 185 Clinton Avenue names Clinton Hill Apartment Owners CORP. Deeds record the party that took title, which is often a holding company rather than the operator managing the building.
Has 185 Clinton Avenue changed hands recently?
No deed for 185 Clinton Avenue appears in the ACRIS records PulseCities holds. That means no transfer has been published for this lot in the current window, not that the building has never been sold.
Have there been evictions at 185 Clinton Avenue?
Yes. One marshal-executed eviction at 185 Clinton Avenue appears in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Mar 25, 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 185 Clinton Avenue rent stabilized?
DHCR registrations list 79 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 the displacement risk around 185 Clinton Avenue?
11205 (Clinton Hill) scores 34.7 out of 100 on the PulseCities displacement index. The score reads five ZIP-level signals: eviction rate, LLC acquisition rate, permit intensity, assessment spikes, and 311 complaint volume. It describes the area around the building, not the building itself.
Sourced from NYC public records: ACRIS deeds, DOB permits, the NYC evictions dataset, and 311. Records reflect what agencies have published and can lag events.
