Completed in 1978, 249 Greene Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 150 units and 108,000 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6B. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $10.7M, and assessed for tax at $4.8M. In the 56 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,159 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 464 of its 1,159 records, fully 40%, fall under that one heading. Violation (384) and inspection (102) trail well behind. 153 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 97, with a site energy-use intensity of 44.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 362 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 40% complaint, 56 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$10.7M of Kings, written across 1,159 government filings.
