Completed in 1931, 1234 East 38 St rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 28 units and 25,600 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $1.0M, and assessed for tax at $462K. In the 96 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 834 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 447 of its 834 records, fully 54%, fall under that one heading. Violation (301) and permit (26) trail well behind. 113 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 78, with a site energy-use intensity of 103.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 160 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 54% complaint, 96 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$1.0M of Kings, written across 834 government filings.
