234records on file

Completed in 2005, 878 Kent Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 29 units and 23,975 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $147K, and assessed for tax at $66.1K. In the 42 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 234 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 74 of its 234 records, fully 32%, fall under that one heading. Violation (44) and enforcement (26) trail well behind. 6 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 2004.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 80.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 180 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 32% permit, 42 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$147K of Kings, written across 234 government filings.
