# 1676 Townsend Avenue, University Heights (South)-Morris Heights, Bronx, NY 10453 BBL 2028480053 · Block 2848 · Lot 53 · BIN 2008163 Canonical page: https://nycpropertyfacts.com/ny/bronx/1676-townsend-avenue-2028480053 Last updated: 2026-10-31 · Open-item counts as of 2026-11-09 ## Summary 1676 Townsend Avenue (Bronx, NY 10453; tax lot BBL 2028480053) is a two-family home (building class B1: two-family home, brick), built around 1920, on a 2,500 sq ft lot zoned R8. City tax records list the owner as RASSOULES, BERNICE V; per ACRIS, a deed to this owner dated March 21, 2007 lists a price of $515,000. The Department of Finance's final market value for tax year 2027 is $1,014,000. As of November 9, 2026, NYC Open Data shows no open DOB jobs, no active DOB, DOB NOW safety or ECB violations and no open HPD violations for this lot, but it does show three OATH tickets with an unpaid balance. An unpaid OATH ticket is a fine the city says is still owed. It is counted separately from violations, so this lot has no open violations but is not free of outstanding items. There were no 311 requests in the past 12 months and one HPD complaint since 2019. (Source: NYC Open Data — DOB, HPD, OATH, DOF, DCP and ACRIS datasets — compiled by NYC Property Facts.)
