Questions about 766 Liberty Avenue
Who owns 766 Liberty Avenue?
The city's property file lists JIAN WEI REALTY CORP as the owner of record for 766 Liberty Avenue. 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 766 Liberty Avenue changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 766 Liberty Avenue?
No executed eviction at 766 Liberty Avenue 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 766 Liberty Avenue rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for 766 Liberty Avenue 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 766 Liberty Avenue assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $284K 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 766 Liberty Avenue?
11208 (Cypress Hills) scores 45.1 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.
