Completed in 1963, 1261 Schenectady Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 67 units and 54,600 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R4. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.3M, and assessed for tax at $2.4M. In the 62 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,406 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 789 of its 1,406 records, fully 56%, fall under that one heading. Violation (418) and enforcement (39) trail well behind. 20 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 2021.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 22, with a site energy-use intensity of 98.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 336 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 56% complaint, 62 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$5.3M of Kings, written across 1,406 government filings.
