Completed in 1928, 181 Rockaway Pkwy rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 70 units and 61,608 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.3M, and assessed for tax at $1.9M. In the 101 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 3,357 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 2,069 of its 3,357 records, fully 62%, fall under that one heading. Violation (1,063) and inspection (66) trail well behind. 55 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 2020.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 75, with a site energy-use intensity of 76.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 305 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 62% complaint, 101 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$4.3M of Kings, written across 3,357 government filings.
