Taxes and assessed value for 229 Shepherd Avenue
The city's Department of Finance assessed this lot at $480K for the 2026 tax year. 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.
No executed evictions at 229 Shepherd Avenue
No executed eviction is on record at 229 Shepherd Avenue in the citywide marshal file, which runs from April 2024.
Rent stabilization at 229 Shepherd Avenue
No DHCR rent-stabilization registration is on file for 229 Shepherd Avenue in the years PulseCities holds. Absence is not proof: an owner who stops registering leaves the same gap as a building that never had stabilized units. Checking your own apartment starts with the free rent history from the state. That is the only binding answer, and it takes time to come back. While you wait, you can get an email when the record here moves: a deed, an eviction, a permit or a violation filed on this building.
