Completed in 1922, 285 Schenectady Ave rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 38 units and 36,000 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R4. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.0M, and assessed for tax at $889K. In the 53 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,213 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 565 of its 1,213 records, fully 47%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (531) and inspection (42) trail well behind. 39 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 2014.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 39, with a site energy-use intensity of 73.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 169 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 47% violation, 53 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$2.0M of Kings, written across 1,213 government filings.
