Completed in 1935, 611 East 21 St rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 42 units and 38,875 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.9M, and assessed for tax at $1.3M. In the 61 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,444 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 779 of its 1,444 records, fully 54%, fall under that one heading. Violation (373) and enforcement (84) trail well behind. 91 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 2010.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 100, with a site energy-use intensity of 18.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 78 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 54% 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.

$2.9M of Kings, written across 1,444 government filings.
