Completed in 1924, 491 Bergen St rises 9 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 1 unit and 74,400 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.9M, and assessed for tax at $1.8M. In the 96 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 220 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 54 of its 220 records, fully 25%, fall under that one heading. Permit (47) and inspection (35) trail well behind. 6 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 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 18.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 111 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 25% violation, 96 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.9M of Kings, written across 220 government filings.
