Completed in 1928, 879 Lenox Rd rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 38 units and 38,640 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $1.9M, and assessed for tax at $852K. In the 51 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,080 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 596 of its 1,080 records, fully 55%, fall under that one heading. Violation (336) and enforcement (41) trail well behind. 9 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 21, with a site energy-use intensity of 100.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 234 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 55% complaint, 51 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$1.9M of Kings, written across 1,080 government filings.
