Completed in 1934, 1501 West 12 St rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 59 units and 53,880 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.0M, and assessed for tax at $1.8M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,939 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,195 of its 1,939 records, fully 62%, fall under that one heading. Violation (553) and enforcement (63) trail well behind. 29 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 78, with a site energy-use intensity of 74.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 279 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 62% complaint, 60 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$4.0M of Kings, written across 1,939 government filings.
