Completed in 1959, 2685 Homecrest Ave rises 7 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 76 units and 54,678 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.8M, and assessed for tax at $2.6M. In the 101 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 917 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 568 of its 917 records, fully 62%, fall under that one heading. Violation (170) and permit (86) trail well behind. 2 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 2009.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 52, with a site energy-use intensity of 91.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 318 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 62% complaint, 101 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$5.8M of Kings, written across 917 government filings.
