Completed in 1931, 2505 Bedford Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 48 units and 37,920 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.1M, and assessed for tax at $1.8M. In the 98 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 5,259 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 2,653 of its 5,259 records, fully 50%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (2,395) and enforcement (60) trail well behind. 319 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 27, with a site energy-use intensity of 119.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 272 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 50% violation, 98 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$4.1M of Kings, written across 5,259 government filings.
