Completed in 1927, 1201 Ave U rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 44 units and 34,800 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.8M, and assessed for tax at $1.7M. In the 99 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 868 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 471 of its 868 records, fully 54%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (273) and enforcement (40) trail well behind. 35 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 2017.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 30, with a site energy-use intensity of 107.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 245 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 54% violation, 99 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.8M of Kings, written across 868 government filings.
