Completed in 1928, 440 Brooklyn Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 49 units and 60,922 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.1M, and assessed for tax at $2.3M. In the 85 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 898 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 522 of its 898 records, fully 58%, fall under that one heading. Violation (269) and enforcement (35) trail well behind. 90 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 68, with a site energy-use intensity of 71.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 323 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 58% complaint, 85 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$5.1M of Kings, written across 898 government filings.
