Completed in 1931, 237 Ovington Ave rises 5 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 74 units and 61,000 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6B. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.9M, and assessed for tax at $1.7M. In the 64 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,025 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 478 of its 1,025 records, fully 47%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (420) and inspection (28) trail well behind. 380 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 92, with a site energy-use intensity of 62.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 253 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 47% violation, 64 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.9M of Kings, written across 1,025 government filings.
