Questions about 21 St James Place
Who owns 21 St James Place?

Has 21 St James Place changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 21 St James Place?
Yes. Five marshal-executed evictions at 21 St James Place appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Mar 26, 2026. 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 21 St James Place rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for 21 St James Place appears in the years PulseCities holds. That is a gap in the registration record rather than an answer about any apartment, and the free rent history from NYS Homes and Community Renewal is what settles it.
What is 21 St James Place assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $21.8M 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.

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.
