Completed in 1931, 97 Brooklyn Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 71 units and 90,540 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $6.5M, and assessed for tax at $2.9M. In the 52 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,069 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,110 of its 2,069 records, fully 54%, fall under that one heading. Violation (756) and enforcement (57) trail well behind. 92 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 2015.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 79, with a site energy-use intensity of 64.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 370 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 54% complaint, 52 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$6.5M of Kings, written across 2,069 government filings.
