Mott Haven Property Search

Mott Haven is a neighborhood in the South Bronx experiencing rapid transformation. Once known primarily for its challenges, the area is now attracting significant investment, new development, and creative businesses. The Mott Haven Historic District preserves an outstanding collection of rowhouses, and the waterfront along the Harlem River is being reimagined.

Row houses (many in the historic district), walk-up apartments, NYCHA developments, new luxury condos and rentals (particularly along the waterfront), and industrial/commercial buildings along Bruckner Boulevard.

Row houses from the 1860s-1890s (some of the oldest in the Bronx). Walk-up apartments from the 1900s-1920s. NYCHA towers from the 1950s-1960s. New construction from the 2010s-2020s, particularly along the waterfront.

HPD housing code violations (heat, hot water, pests, lead paint), NYCHA-related violations, construction violations from new development, illegal conversions, facade maintenance, and fire safety violations in older buildings.

Low assessed values historically, now rising with new development. NYCHA properties are tax-exempt. New luxury developments have 421-a abatements. Row houses in Tax Class 1 remain affordable.

Mix of R6, R7-1, R7A, M1-2, and M1-4 zoning. The South Bronx has not had a comprehensive rezoning. Special Harlem River Waterfront District guides waterfront development. Mott Haven Historic District provides LPC oversight.

Bankside (a luxury waterfront development), The Bronx Point (with the Universal Hip Hop Museum), and numerous other projects are transforming the South Bronx waterfront.
