Completed in 1939, 83 Clifton Pl rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 40 units and 57,937 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6B. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $13.3M, and assessed for tax at $6.0M. In the 105 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,119 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,043 of its 2,119 records, fully 49%, fall under that one heading. Violation (720) and permit (124) trail well behind. 18 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 2016.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 97, with a site energy-use intensity of 54.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 224 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 49% complaint, 105 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$13.3M of Kings, written across 2,119 government filings.
