Completed in 1956, 250 East 38 St rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 63 units and 46,680 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.7M, and assessed for tax at $2.1M. In the 50 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 969 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 608 of its 969 records, fully 63%, fall under that one heading. Violation (214) and enforcement (45) trail well behind. 4 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 2010.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 76, with a site energy-use intensity of 70.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 225 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 63% complaint, 50 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$4.7M of Kings, written across 969 government filings.
