200records on file

Completed in 1956, 655 New Lots Ave rises 2 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 19,170 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.6M, and assessed for tax at $1.2M. In the 36 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 200 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 64 of its 200 records, fully 32%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (33) and violation (31) 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 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 73.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 154 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 32% permit, 36 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$2.6M of Kings, written across 200 government filings.
