Questions about 398 Sheffield Avenue

Has 398 Sheffield Avenue changed hands recently?

Have there been evictions at 398 Sheffield Avenue?
Yes. One marshal-executed eviction at 398 Sheffield Avenue appears in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Oct 23, 2024. The dataset covers executed evictions only, so it undercounts housing court activity: cases that settle or end in a move-out never reach a marshal.
Is 398 Sheffield Avenue rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for 398 Sheffield Avenue appears in the years PulseCities holds. That is a gap in the registration record rather than an answer about any apartment, and the free rent history from NYS Homes and Community Renewal is what settles it.
What is the displacement risk around 398 Sheffield Avenue?
11207 (East New York) scores 48.2 out of 100 on the PulseCities displacement index. The score reads five ZIP-level signals: eviction rate, LLC acquisition rate, permit intensity, assessment spikes, and 311 complaint volume. It describes the area around the building, not the building itself.
Sourced from NYC public records: ACRIS deeds, DOB permits, the NYC evictions dataset, and 311. Records reflect what agencies have published and can lag events.
