88records on file

Completed in 1931, 407 East 53 St rises 2 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 1 unit and 10,080 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R5.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 26 of its 88 records, fully 30%, fall under that one heading. Violation (19) and assignment (15) trail well behind. No 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 2019.

Read together — 30% enforcement, 49 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 88 government filings.
