Completed in 1910, 188 South 2 St rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 24 units and 31,500 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.5M, and assessed for tax at $1.1M. In the 58 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 700 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 353 of its 700 records, fully 50%, fall under that one heading. Violation (187) and permit (46) trail well behind. 34 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 2008.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 4, with a site energy-use intensity of 129.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 314 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 50% complaint, 58 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$2.5M of Kings, written across 700 government filings.
