Completed in 1917, 170 New York Ave rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 36 units and 39,088 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $1.9M, and assessed for tax at $876K. In the 61 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,140 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 537 of its 1,140 records, fully 47%, fall under that one heading. Violation (424) and inspection (64) trail well behind. 17 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 20, with a site energy-use intensity of 89.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 213 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 47% complaint, 61 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$1.9M of Kings, written across 1,140 government filings.
