Completed in 1966, 1199 East 53RD St rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 156 units and 149,520 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $14.9M, and assessed for tax at $6.7M. In the 74 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,221 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 542 of its 1,221 records, fully 44%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (399) and permit (79) trail well behind. 328 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 2019.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 53, with a site energy-use intensity of 94.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,095 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 44% violation, 74 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$14.9M of Kings, written across 1,221 government filings.
