Completed in 2012, 1209 Dekalb Ave rises 5 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 127 units and 101,957 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $19.9M, and assessed for tax at $9.0M. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 600 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 157 of its 600 records, fully 26%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (145) and inspection (94) trail well behind. No 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 2018.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 95, with a site energy-use intensity of 35.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 351 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 26% violation, 59 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$19.9M of Kings, written across 600 government filings.
