Completed in 1939, 50 Lefferts Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 93 units and 92,538 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $7.9M, and assessed for tax at $3.5M. In the 88 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,128 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 658 of its 1,128 records, fully 58%, fall under that one heading. Violation (232) and permit (91) trail well behind. 60 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 2008.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 62, with a site energy-use intensity of 73.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 479 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 58% complaint, 88 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$7.9M of Kings, written across 1,128 government filings.
