Is 892 Melrose Avenue, Bronx rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

Does 892 Melrose Avenue, Bronx have a property tax exemption?

The building has a J-51 tax exemption on DOF's 2026/27 roll. DOF lists its start year as 2007. An exemption lowers a property's tax bill by reducing its assessed value.

When was 892 Melrose Avenue, Bronx built?

How many apartments does 892 Melrose Avenue, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 16 residential units at 892 Melrose Avenue, Bronx. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOF's exemption rolls, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOF's exemption rolls, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
