Completed in 1939, 2249 East 21 St rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 48 units and 46,460 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R4. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.5M, and assessed for tax at $2.0M. In the 48 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,412 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 657 of its 1,412 records, fully 47%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (584) and enforcement (41) trail well behind. 96 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 76, with a site energy-use intensity of 83.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 236 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 47% violation, 48 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$4.5M of Kings, written across 1,412 government filings.
