At least 11,253 households across the five boroughs were evicted by marshals between Jan. 1 and Aug. 15 of this year, according to data from the city’s Department of Investigation. Evictions previously slowed during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent eviction freeze, but rates have been on the rise since 2022 when the moratorium was lifted.
