Completed in 1930, 486 Brooklyn Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 107 units and 113,952 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-1. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $6.9M, and assessed for tax at $3.1M. In the 89 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,993 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,247 of its 1,993 records, fully 63%, fall under that one heading. Violation (493) and enforcement (66) trail well behind. 40 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 95, with a site energy-use intensity of 51.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 424 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 63% complaint, 89 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$6.9M of Kings, written across 1,993 government filings.
