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 49 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 185 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 48 of its 185 records, fully 26%, fall under that one heading. Permit (39) and violation (38) trail well behind. 2 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 — 26% enforcement, 49 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 185 government filings.
