Completed in 1940, 312 East 21 St rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 54 units and 55,426 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.3M, and assessed for tax at $1.5M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,450 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 807 of its 1,450 records, fully 56%, fall under that one heading. Violation (496) and inspection (30) trail well behind. 78 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 2022.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 65, with a site energy-use intensity of 69.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 269 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 56% complaint, 60 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.3M of Kings, written across 1,450 government filings.
