Completed in 1928, 885 Troy Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 67 units and 58,644 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.0M, and assessed for tax at $1.8M. In the 100 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,702 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,617 of its 2,702 records, fully 60%, fall under that one heading. Violation (866) and enforcement (70) trail well behind. 85 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 2005.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 39, with a site energy-use intensity of 95.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 465 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 60% complaint, 100 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$4.0M of Kings, written across 2,702 government filings.
