Yes. One marshal-executed eviction at 81-31 Baxter Avenue appears in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Dec 17, 2024. 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 81-31 Baxter Avenue rent stabilized?
