403records on file

Completed in 1931, 480 Van Brunt St rises 5 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 23 units and 108,784 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M1-1/R5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $21.1M, and assessed for tax at $9.5M. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 403 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 121 of its 403 records, fully 30%, fall under that one heading. Permit (92) and violation (82) trail well behind. 4 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 2017.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 58.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 478 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 30% enforcement, 59 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$21.1M of Kings, written across 403 government filings.
