Completed in 1979, 228 East 55 St rises 1 story over Kings. Public records put it at 7 units and 5,000 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $1.0M, and assessed for tax at $461K. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 97 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward lien: 25 of its 97 records, fully 26%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (24) and permit (17) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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.

Read together — 26% lien, 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.

$1.0M of Kings, written across 97 government filings.
