Completed in 1929, 1 University Plaza rises 15 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 2 units and 579,404 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $212M, and assessed for tax at $95.4M. In the 70 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,921 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 575 of its 1,921 records, fully 30%, fall under that one heading. Permit (517) and inspection (391) trail well behind. 159 violations stand open against it today.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 100, with a site energy-use intensity of 43.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 2,713 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 30% violation, 70 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$212M of Kings, written across 1,921 government filings.
