134records on file

Completed in 2012, 158 Buffalo Ave rises 2 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 1 unit and 16,394 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $11.2M, and assessed for tax at $5.1M. In the 53 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 134 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 58 of its 134 records, fully 43%, fall under that one heading. Violation (18) and assignment (14) trail well behind. 5 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 2011.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 40.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 107 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 43% permit, 53 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$11.2M of Kings, written across 134 government filings.
