Completed in 1931, 526 East 91 St rises 2 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 1 unit and 28,220 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C8-1. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.3M, and assessed for tax at $1.5M. In the 48 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 158 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 36 of its 158 records, fully 23%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (25) and enforcement (24) trail well behind. 2 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 2018.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 30.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 98 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 23% permit, 48 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.3M of Kings, written across 158 government filings.
