Summary · as of November 9, 2026
657 St Johns Place (Brooklyn, NY 11216; tax lot BBL 3012450072) is a two-family home (building class B1: two-family home, brick), built around 1899, on a 2,432 sq ft lot zoned R5B. City tax records list the owner as THE DICKSTEIN DOLGONOS LIVING TRUST; the most recent deed with a stated price is dated January 29, 2015 at $925,000 (per ACRIS). The Department of Finance's final market value for tax year 2027 is $1,224,000. As of November 9, 2026, NYC Open Data shows no open DOB jobs, no active DOB, DOB NOW safety or ECB violations and no open HPD violations for this lot, but it does show one OATH ticket with an unpaid balance. An unpaid OATH ticket is a fine the city says is still owed. It is counted separately from violations, so this lot has no open violations but is not free of outstanding items.
