NYC Evictions by Year: Marshal-Executed Evictions Since 2017

NYC City Marshals carried out 17,791 residential evictions in 2025, 4% more than the 17,036 in 2019, the last full year before the pandemic. Evictions nearly stopped in 2021 (160) and have risen every year since. So far in 2026 the count is running 9% below the same period of 2025.

What this data counts

The Evictions dataset lists evictions that NYC City Marshals actually executed, compiled from the marshals themselves. The dataset description says marshals are independent public officials appointed by the Mayor, and that no data before January 1, 2017 is available. Each row is one executed eviction or possession with its date, address, borough and whether the property was residential or commercial. Since 2017 the dataset has 123,458 residential and 11,812 commercial evictions. This report uses residential rows only.

An executed eviction is the last step of an eviction case, not the first, and this dataset does not show how many cases were filed or how they ended. If you have received court papers or a marshal's notice, see the NYC eviction process step by step and what to do about a marshal's notice.

Evictions by year

Executed evictions were already falling before the pandemic: from 20,803 in 2017 to 19,988 in 2018 and 17,036 in 2019. They dropped to 3,064 in 2020 and 160 in 2021. New York's state eviction moratorium expired on January 15, 2022, according to the state Attorney General. The count then climbed to 4,029 in 2022, 12,025 in 2023, 15,461 in 2024 and 17,791 in 2025.

So are evictions back to pre-pandemic levels? Compared with 2019, yes: 2025 was 4% higher. Compared with 2017, no: 2025 was 14% lower. The data shows the count, not the reasons behind it, so we do not attribute the changes to any one law or program.

Month by month since 2022

Monthly evictions rose steadily through 2022 and 2023, from 95 in January 2022 to over 1,000 in every month from June to November 2023. Since 2024 the line has been roughly flat, mostly between about 1,100 and 1,700 a month. The highest month in this window was Mar 26 with 1,689. December tends to be one of the lower months each year.

For 2026, the dataset shows 13,101 residential evictions from January 1 through October 9. Over the same dates, there were 14,340 in 2025, 12,097 in 2024 and 14,207 in 2019. That puts 2026 8.6% below 2025 and 7.8% below 2019 so far. The full-year total will depend on the last three months.

By borough

The Bronx had the most executed evictions in every full year in the data except 2021 and 2022, when Brooklyn had more. In 2025 the Bronx had 5,660, still 4% below its 2019 count. Brooklyn was also below 2019 (-5%). The citywide total is above 2019 because Queens (+24%) and Manhattan (+18%) rose. These are raw counts, not rates: boroughs have very different numbers of rental homes, and this dataset does not include a denominator.

If you are facing eviction

According to the state Attorney General, a landlord may not remove a lawful occupant who has lived in a home for 30 days or more without a court process.
