Completed in 2013, 836 Dekalb Ave rises 5 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 36 units and 33,934 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $6.7M, and assessed for tax at $3.0M. In the 57 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 280 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 55 of its 280 records, fully 20%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (54) and violation (50) trail well behind. 11 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 86, with a site energy-use intensity of 40.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 141 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 20% enforcement, 57 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$6.7M of Kings, written across 280 government filings.
