Have there been evictions at 263 Lincoln Avenue?

What is 263 Lincoln Avenue assessed at for property taxes?

What is the displacement risk around 263 Lincoln Avenue?
11208 (Cypress Hills) scores 45.1 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.
