Completed in 1887, 186 Remsen St rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 1 unit and 25,500 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-2A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.0M, and assessed for tax at $895K. In the 43 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 106 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 34 of its 106 records, fully 32%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (23) and enforcement (20) trail well behind. 24 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 is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 4.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 13 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 32% violation, 43 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$2.0M of Kings, written across 106 government filings.
