Completed in 1905, 255 18 St rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 36 units and 40,000 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6B. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $7.0M, and assessed for tax at $3.1M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,290 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 522 of its 1,290 records, fully 40%, fall under that one heading. Violation (331) and enforcement (245) trail well behind. 26 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 100, with a site energy-use intensity of 17.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 80 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 40% complaint, 60 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$7.0M of Kings, written across 1,290 government filings.
