Completed in 1940, 4520 12 Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 48 units and 54,000 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.3M, and assessed for tax at $1.5M. In the 57 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,680 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 763 of its 1,680 records, fully 45%, fall under that one heading. Violation (730) and assignment (68) trail well behind. 214 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 94, with a site energy-use intensity of 61.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 208 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 45% complaint, 57 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 1,680 government filings.
