40records on file

Completed in 1931, 1221 Rockaway Ave rises 1 story over Kings. Public records put it at 2 units and 2,000 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M1-1. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $260K, and assessed for tax at $117K. In the 57 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 40 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 10 of its 40 records, fully 25%, fall under that one heading. Permit (9) and violation (6) trail well behind. 2 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 1997.

Read together — 25% enforcement, 57 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$260K of Kings, written across 40 government filings.
