Completed in 1927, 1579 Sterling Pl rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 43 units and 44,800 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.4M, and assessed for tax at $1.5M. In the 54 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,007 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 557 of its 1,007 records, fully 55%, fall under that one heading. Violation (340) and enforcement (27) trail well behind. 3 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 100, with a site energy-use intensity of 20.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 59 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 55% complaint, 54 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 1,007 government filings.
