The city's property file lists MHANY 2002 HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FUND CORP ORATION as the owner of record for 497 Newport Street. No deed for this lot appears in the ACRIS records PulseCities holds, so that name comes from the tax roll rather than from a recorded transfer.
Has 497 Newport Street changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 497 Newport Street?
No executed eviction at 497 Newport 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 497 Newport Street rent stabilized?

What is 497 Newport Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $255K 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 497 Newport Street?
11212 (Brownsville) scores 48.4 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.
