Completed in 1917, 137 Degraw St rises 8 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 85 units and 70,403 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $21.9K, and assessed for tax at $9.9K. In the 38 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,911 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward assignment: 595 of its 1,911 records, fully 31%, fall under that one heading. Mortgage (340) and complaint (333) trail well behind. 39 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 2014.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 66, with a site energy-use intensity of 70.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 403 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 31% assignment, 38 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$21.9K of Kings, written across 1,911 government filings.
