983records on file

Completed in 1975, 255 Ryerson St rises 2 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 3 units and 291,041 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-1. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $87.7M, and assessed for tax at $39.5M. In the 36 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 983 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 164.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 121 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 50% permit, 36 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$87.7M of Kings, written across 983 government filings.
