Completed in 1935, 235 Seaman Ave rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 52 units and 47,180 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.7M, and assessed for tax at $1.7M. In the 70 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,027 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,291 of its 2,027 records, fully 64%, fall under that one heading. Violation (538) and enforcement (55) trail well behind. 114 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 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 21, with a site energy-use intensity of 104.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 389 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 64% complaint, 70 years of accumulation, a parcel of New York — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.7M of New York, written across 2,027 government filings.
