NYC evictions by neighborhood: Bronx leads, East New York tops the list
City marshals carried out 4,414 evictions from June 23 to Sept. 21, down 44 from the prior 90 days. Brooklyn rose 10.3% while the Bronx and Queens fell.
City marshals carried out 4,414 residential and commercial evictions in New York City between June 23 and Sept. 21, 2026, according to the city’s open data on executed evictions. That is 44 fewer than in the previous 90 days, March 25 to June 23, a drop of 1%.
Citywide, the count barely moved. The boroughs moved much more: Brooklyn went up, while the Bronx and Queens went down. At the neighborhood level, a few areas had large swings in both directions.
NYC evictions by borough this summer
The Bronx again had the most executed evictions, though its count fell. These are the borough figures for the latest 90 days:
- Bronx: 1,471, down from 1,612 (down 141, or 8.7%)
- Brooklyn: 1,038, up from 941 (up 97, or 10.3%)
- Queens: 970, down from 1,081 (down 111, or 10.3%)
- Manhattan: 687, up from 678 (up 9, or 1.3%)
- Staten Island: 141, down from 146 (down 5, or 3.4%)
The dataset also files some records under the older county names: 74 under Kings, 27 under New York and 6 under Richmond. None appeared under those names in the earlier period, so there is nothing to compare them with. They are not included in the borough totals above.
Which NYC neighborhoods saw the most evictions
The data places each eviction in one of the city’s neighborhood tabulation areas. These are the areas with the highest counts from June 23 to Sept. 21:
- East New York: 108, up from 83
- Central Harlem North-Polo Grounds: 105, down from 107
- Mount Hope: 101, up from 82
- Bedford Park-Fordham North: 80, up from 77
- East Concourse-Concourse Village: 77, down from 91
- Williamsbridge-Olinville: 77, down from 78
East New York moved from behind Central Harlem North-Polo Grounds into first place with a 30.1% increase. Another 336 evictions in the latest period had no neighborhood recorded. There is no comparable figure for the earlier period.
Where evictions rose and fell the most
In percentage terms, the biggest increases among the neighborhoods with the highest counts came in upper Manhattan and eastern Brooklyn. Washington Heights North rose to 53 from 31, up 71%. Brownsville rose to 59 from 37, up 59.5%. Mount Hope was up 23.2% and Crown Heights North was up 15.4%, to 75 from 65.
Washington Heights South also rose slightly, to 49 from 46. Together with its northern half, that puts Washington Heights among the areas to watch in the next update.
The biggest drops were in the Bronx. Van Cortlandt Village fell to 49 from 71, down 31%. Mott Haven-Port Morris fell to 64 from 76, down 15.8%, and East Concourse-Concourse Village was down 15.4%. West Concourse, Morrisania-Melrose and East Tremont each fell by about 10% to 12%.
These counts are small. In neighborhoods with a few dozen evictions, a change of 20 can produce a large percentage.
Residential and commercial evictions: a labeling change in the data
The dataset marks each eviction as residential or commercial, but the labels changed between the two periods. In the latest period, 3,429 evictions are labeled “Residential” and 688 are labeled “R.” In the earlier period, only 7 carried the “R” label. On commercial evictions, 238 are labeled “Commercial” and 59 are labeled “C.”
The “Residential” label is down 16.8% and the “R” label shows a jump of more than 9,000%. Neither figure means anything on its own. Both mostly reflect how records were coded, not a real shift in who is being evicted. Nearly all executed evictions in both periods were residential.
What the eviction numbers do and do not show
Each row in this dataset is a warrant of eviction that a city marshal carried out at one address, as recorded by the city. It is a count of completed evictions, not of every tenant who fell behind on rent, received court papers or moved out under pressure.
An executed eviction also comes at the end of a housing court case, so these numbers lag behind new filings. A change this summer may reflect cases that began months earlier. It does not show what is happening in court right now.
A neighborhood’s count also says nothing about any single building or landlord. This analysis only covers totals by borough and neighborhood.
What tenants and neighbors can do with this data
If you rent, these figures show where marshals were most active this summer. They cannot tell you how likely an eviction is for any one household. If you have received housing court papers, get legal advice before your court date instead of waiting for a marshal’s notice.
Rent-stabilized tenants can read about the current lease situation in our story on the zero increase for Oct. 1 leases.
For neighborhood groups and tenant associations, the neighborhood figures can help decide where to hold outreach and legal clinics. Because of the lag, it is worth checking the counts again after the next 90-day period, before treating any single rise or fall as a trend.
