Completed in 1967, 490 New York Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 37 units and 41,764 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-1. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.9M, and assessed for tax at $1.3M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 915 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 591 of its 915 records, fully 65%, fall under that one heading. Violation (235) and inspection (24) trail well behind. 43 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 2018.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 64, with a site energy-use intensity of 63.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 171 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 65% complaint, 60 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

65% of every record here performs the same act: complaint.
