Completed in 1930, 12 Franklin Ave rises 5 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 1 unit and 50,605 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-1. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.7M, and assessed for tax at $2.6M. In the 50 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 193 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 48 of its 193 records, fully 25%, fall under that one heading. Permit (40) and violation (39) trail well behind. 3 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 2019.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 99, with a site energy-use intensity of 24.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 145 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 25% enforcement, 50 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$5.7M of Kings, written across 193 government filings.
