Completed in 1932, 50 Greene Ave rises 7 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 41 units and 35,872 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6B. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $7.4M, and assessed for tax at $3.3M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,020 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,150 of its 2,020 records, fully 57%, fall under that one heading. Violation (633) and enforcement (62) trail well behind. 152 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 38, with a site energy-use intensity of 87.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 203 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 57% 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.

$7.4M of Kings, written across 2,020 government filings.
