Completed in 1931, 638 East 2 St rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 37 units and 40,150 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.8M, and assessed for tax at $1.7M. In the 55 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 116 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward sale: 31 of its 116 records, fully 27%, fall under that one heading. Violation (20) and complaint (15) trail well behind. 3 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 100, with a site energy-use intensity of 22.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 98 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 27% sale, 55 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.8M of Kings, written across 116 government filings.
