Questions about 1540 Van Siclen Avenue
Who owns 1540 Van Siclen Avenue?
The city's property file lists BSC HOUSING COMPANY, INC. as the owner of record for 1540 Van Siclen Avenue. 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 1540 Van Siclen Avenue changed hands recently?
No deed for 1540 Van Siclen Avenue appears in the ACRIS records PulseCities holds. That means no transfer has been published for this lot in the current window, not that the building has never been sold.
Have there been evictions at 1540 Van Siclen Avenue?
Yes. 14 marshal-executed evictions at 1540 Van Siclen Avenue appear in the NYC evictions dataset, the most recent on Jul 8, 2026. 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 1540 Van Siclen Avenue rent stabilized?
No DHCR registration for 1540 Van Siclen 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 1540 Van Siclen Avenue assessed at for property taxes?
The Department of Finance assessed the lot at $64.2M 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 1540 Van Siclen Avenue?
11239 (East New York) scores 11.0 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.
