Completed in 1930, 155 East 51 St rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 47 units and 38,169 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.6M, and assessed for tax at $1.2M. In the 91 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,716 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,052 of its 1,716 records, fully 61%, fall under that one heading. Violation (538) and inspection (21) 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 2003.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 22, with a site energy-use intensity of 101.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 234 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 61% complaint, 91 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$2.6M of Kings, written across 1,716 government filings.
