Completed in 1937, 20 Crooke Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 58 units and 55,458 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.8M, and assessed for tax at $1.3M. In the 61 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,827 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 1,402 of its 2,827 records, fully 50%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (1,188) and inspection (54) trail well behind. 234 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 29, with a site energy-use intensity of 87.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 310 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 50% violation, 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.

$2.8M of Kings, written across 2,827 government filings.
