Completed in 1930, 850 East 31 St rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 71 units and 70,650 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.5M, and assessed for tax at $1.6M. In the 58 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,418 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 785 of its 1,418 records, fully 55%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (531) and enforcement (27) trail well behind. 44 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 69, with a site energy-use intensity of 71.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 307 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 55% violation, 58 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.5M of Kings, written across 1,418 government filings.
