Completed in 1928, 290 Empire Blvd rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 77 units and 70,662 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-1. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.6M, and assessed for tax at $1.2M. In the 97 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,408 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 707 of its 1,408 records, fully 50%, fall under that one heading. Violation (549) and inspection (42) trail well behind. 31 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 56, with a site energy-use intensity of 92.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 396 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 50% complaint, 97 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$2.6M of Kings, written across 1,408 government filings.
