Completed in 1930, 701 Empire Blvd rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 65 units and 62,436 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-1. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.0M, and assessed for tax at $2.3M. In the 66 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 889 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 518 of its 889 records, fully 58%, fall under that one heading. Violation (241) and inspection (35) trail well behind. 34 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 2005.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 57.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 259 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 58% complaint, 66 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$5.0M of Kings, written across 889 government filings.
