Marshal evictions at 38 Grand Street

Each row is a warrant of eviction a city marshal actually carried out at this building, from the Department of Investigation’s eviction ledger. It records the end of a Housing Court case, not a violation. “Possession” means the tenant was removed and the space returned to the landlord. Filings that never reached execution are not in this dataset.
