I measured only 911 m on Google Maps, along the roof, and there is a sharp kink in that line and few smaller ones.
The Karl-Marx-Hof in Vienna, Austria is over 1000 m in a straight line, from one end to the other. Still the longest residential building in the world.

Hong Kong actually started regulating breaks in buildings, because tall walls of buildings + mountains + irregular street grid meant that there was insufficient ventilation for roadside pollution to dissipate.
