103records on file

Completed in 1920, 170 Van Brunt St rises 2 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 1 unit and 39,740 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M2-1. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.5M, and assessed for tax at $2.5M. In the 47 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 103 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 44 of its 103 records, fully 43%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (18) and permit (15) trail well behind. No 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 1990.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 38.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 98 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 43% enforcement, 47 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$5.5M of Kings, written across 103 government filings.
