Taxes and assessed value
The city's Department of Finance assessed this lot at $604K for the 2026 tax year. That works out to $40K per residential unit. Assessed value is what the city taxes, not what the building would sell for, and the two routinely differ by a wide margin. The bill itself turns on the tax class rate and on any exemptions or abatements attached to the lot, neither of which is published here.
What the eviction record shows
No executed eviction is on record at Essex Street in the citywide marshal file, which runs from April 2024.

Questions about Essex Street
Who owns Essex Street?
The most recent deed on file for Essex Street names Brooklyn North Housing Development Fund Corporation. Deeds record the party that took title, which is often a holding company rather than the operator managing the building.
Has Essex Street changed hands recently?
No deed for Essex Street 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 Essex Street?
No executed eviction at Essex 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 Essex Street rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for Essex Street 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 Essex Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $604K 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 Essex Street?
11208 (Cypress Hills) scores 45.8 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.
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.
