Completed in 1929, 224 East 59 St rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 1 unit and 302,208 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R4. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $57.4M, and assessed for tax at $25.8M. In the 35 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 903 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 372 of its 903 records, fully 41%, fall under that one heading. Violation (244) and enforcement (141) trail well behind. 53 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 posts an Energy Star score of 80, with a site energy-use intensity of 55.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,130 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 41% permit, 35 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$57.4M of Kings, written across 903 government filings.
