Completed in 2015, 255 Schermerhorn St rises 25 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 717 units and 612,049 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-4. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $17.7M, and assessed for tax at $8.0M. In the 33 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 886 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 332 of its 886 records, fully 37%, fall under that one heading. Permit (178) and violation (120) trail well behind. 21 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 62, with a site energy-use intensity of 57.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 3,579 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 37% complaint, 33 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$17.7M of Kings, written across 886 government filings.
