Completed in 1930, 2256 Strauss St rises 3 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 6 units and 6,000 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $799K, and assessed for tax at $360K. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 151 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 35 of its 151 records, fully 23%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (24) and enforcement (24) trail well behind. No 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 2005.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 99.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 35 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 23% violation, 59 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$799K of Kings, written across 151 government filings.
