Completed in 1919, 1280 St Johns Pl rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 76 units and 63,012 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.6M, and assessed for tax at $2.1M. In the 52 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 3,848 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,938 of its 3,848 records, fully 50%, fall under that one heading. Violation (1,655) and enforcement (98) trail well behind. 73 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 2013.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 99, with a site energy-use intensity of 19.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 144 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 50% complaint, 52 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$4.6M of Kings, written across 3,848 government filings.
