Completed in 1930, 542 Parkside Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 42 units and 44,147 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $1.9M, and assessed for tax at $862K. In the 91 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 833 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 381 of its 833 records, fully 46%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (288) and inspection (44) trail well behind. 51 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 64, with a site energy-use intensity of 76.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 213 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 46% violation, 91 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$1.9M of Kings, written across 833 government filings.
