Completed in 1930, 56 Rockaway Pkwy rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 35 units and 28,568 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 $872K. In the 61 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,138 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,341 of its 2,138 records, fully 63%, fall under that one heading. Violation (708) and inspection (27) trail well behind. 309 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 2019.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 36, with a site energy-use intensity of 87.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 201 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 63% complaint, 61 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 2,138 government filings.
