Completed in 1929, 1488 East 5 St rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 53 units and 46,500 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.4M, and assessed for tax at $1.5M. In the 99 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,161 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,187 of its 2,161 records, fully 55%, fall under that one heading. Violation (784) and enforcement (62) trail well behind. 71 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 52, with a site energy-use intensity of 90.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 271 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 55% complaint, 99 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.4M of Kings, written across 2,161 government filings.
