Completed in 1941, 245 Hawthorne St rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 78 units and 82,542 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.4M, and assessed for tax at $2.0M. In the 54 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 4,801 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 2,328 of its 4,801 records, fully 48%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (2,187) and enforcement (82) trail well behind. 229 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 2025.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 25, with a site energy-use intensity of 114.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 560 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 48% violation, 54 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$4.4M of Kings, written across 4,801 government filings.
