Who owns 254 Bergen Street?
The city's property file lists FAC RENAISSANCE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FUND CORP. as the owner of record for 254 Bergen Street. No deed for this lot appears in the ACRIS records PulseCities holds, so that name comes from the tax roll rather than from a recorded transfer.
Has 254 Bergen Street changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 254 Bergen Street?
No executed eviction at 254 Bergen Street appears in the NYC evictions dataset, which PulseCities holds from April 2024 forward. Executed evictions are the end of the process, so a building with none may still have active housing court cases.
Is 254 Bergen Street rent stabilized?

What is 254 Bergen Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $1.7M for the 2026 tax year. That is the figure the city taxes rather than a sale price, and the bill depends on the tax class rate and on any exemptions on the lot.
What is the displacement risk around 254 Bergen Street?
11217 (Boerum Hill) scores 30.6 out of 100 on the PulseCities displacement index. The score reads five ZIP-level signals: LLC acquisition rate, permit intensity, 311 complaint volume, executed evictions, and serious HPD violations. It describes the area around the building, not the building itself.
