Who owns 638 East 98 Street?
The city's property file lists 505 ROCKAWAY LLC as the owner of record for 638 East 98 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 638 East 98 Street changed hands recently?

Yes. Five marshal-executed evictions at 638 East 98 Street appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Aug 27, 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 638 East 98 Street rent stabilized?
DHCR registrations list 113 stabilized units at this building in 2023. Registration is building-level, so it does not settle whether one apartment is stabilized. The free rent history from NYS Homes and Community Renewal does.
What is 638 East 98 Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $4.4M 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 638 East 98 Street?
11236 (Canarsie) scores 32.1 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. It describes the area around the building, not the building itself.
