Completed in 1927, 212 Crown St rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 35 units and 38,500 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.5M, and assessed for tax at $2.5M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,266 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 714 of its 1,266 records, fully 56%, fall under that one heading. Violation (348) and enforcement (64) trail well behind. 9 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 2016.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 91, with a site energy-use intensity of 56.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 150 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 56% complaint, 60 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 1,266 government filings.
