Completed in 1888, 51 Clark St rises 12 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 11 units and 319,080 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-1. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $66.6M, and assessed for tax at $30.0M. In the 58 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,285 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 310 of its 1,285 records, fully 24%, fall under that one heading. Permit (280) and inspection (239) trail well behind. 14 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 2025.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 57, with a site energy-use intensity of 112.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 2,508 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 24% violation, 58 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$66.6M of Kings, written across 1,285 government filings.
