Completed in 1920, 290 East 53 St rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 27 units and 25,836 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.0M, and assessed for tax at $887K. In the 43 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 814 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 444 of its 814 records, fully 55%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (280) and permit (31) trail well behind. 133 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 2025.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 93, with a site energy-use intensity of 51.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 88 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 55% violation, 43 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 814 government filings.
