Completed in 1932, 1525 East 26 St rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 88 units and 92,650 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.1M, and assessed for tax at $2.3M. In the 89 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,147 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 511 of its 1,147 records, fully 45%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (494) and enforcement (43) trail well behind. 109 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 52, with a site energy-use intensity of 73.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 494 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 45% violation, 89 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$5.1M of Kings, written across 1,147 government filings.
