Completed in 1914, 285 Eastern Pkwy rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 33 units and 28,724 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.6M, and assessed for tax at $2.5M. In the 77 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,095 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,319 of its 2,095 records, fully 63%, fall under that one heading. Violation (545) and permit (68) trail well behind. 171 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 2003.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 100, with a site energy-use intensity of 9.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 30 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 63% complaint, 77 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$5.6M of Kings, written across 2,095 government filings.
