Completed in 1947, 120 Spencer St rises 5 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 45 units and 48,243 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M1-2/R6A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $127K, and assessed for tax at $57.0K. In the 1825 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,055 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward mortgage: 270 of its 1,055 records, fully 26%, fall under that one heading. Release (248) and sale (159) trail well behind. 18 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 2003.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 79, with a site energy-use intensity of 45.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 179 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 26% mortgage, 1825 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$127K of Kings, written across 1,055 government filings.
