Completed in 1930, 120 Schermerhorn St rises 11 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 1 unit and 264,180 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-2A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $48.8M, and assessed for tax at $22.0M. In the 87 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,072 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 364 of its 1,072 records, fully 34%, fall under that one heading. Permit (268) and violation (252) trail well behind. 18 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 49, with a site energy-use intensity of 76.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 2,451 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 34% inspection, 87 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$48.8M of Kings, written across 1,072 government filings.
