Completed in 1931, 1170 Ocean Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 57 units and 68,000 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.1M, and assessed for tax at $1.4M. In the 68 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,604 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,664 of its 2,604 records, fully 64%, fall under that one heading. Violation (782) and enforcement (50) trail well behind. 103 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 75, with a site energy-use intensity of 71.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 299 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 64% complaint, 68 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.1M of Kings, written across 2,604 government filings.
