Questions about 156-04 79 Street
Who owns 156-04 79 Street?
The city's property file lists a private individual as the owner of record for 156-04 79 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 156-04 79 Street changed hands recently?
No deed for 156-04 79 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.

Yes. Two marshal-executed evictions at 156-04 79 Street appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Dec 8, 2025. 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 156-04 79 Street rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for 156-04 79 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 156-04 79 Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $1.4M 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.

It describes the area around the building, not the building itself.
