Completed in 1930, 474 Brooklyn Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 55 units and 63,767 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-1. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.3M, and assessed for tax at $1.5M. In the 91 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 4,480 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 2,699 of its 4,480 records, fully 60%, fall under that one heading. Violation (1,524) and enforcement (97) trail well behind. 122 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 64, with a site energy-use intensity of 77.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 277 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 60% complaint, 91 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 4,480 government filings.
