Who owns 209 South 2 Street?
The city's property file lists 209 SOUTH 2ND STREET HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FUND as the owner of record for 209 South 2 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 209 South 2 Street changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 209 South 2 Street?
No executed eviction at 209 South 2 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 209 South 2 Street rent stabilized?
DHCR registrations list 35 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 209 South 2 Street assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $1.8M 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 209 South 2 Street?
11211 (Williamsburg) scores 33.0 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.
