Has 298 St Johns Place changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 298 St Johns Place?
No executed eviction at 298 St Johns Place 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 298 St Johns Place rent stabilized?
DHCR registrations list 40 stabilized units at this building in 2023. Registration is building-level, so it does not settle whether one apartment is stabilized. The free rent history from NYS Homes and Community Renewal does.
What is 298 St Johns Place assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $1.2M 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 298 St Johns Place?
11238 (Prospect Heights) scores 35.3 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.
