Completed in 1941, 1245 Ocean Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 48 units and 49,250 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.1M, and assessed for tax at $938K. In the 85 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,100 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 626 of its 1,100 records, fully 57%, fall under that one heading. Violation (319) and permit (36) trail well behind. 33 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 2011.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 86, with a site energy-use intensity of 64.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 227 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 57% complaint, 85 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$2.1M of Kings, written across 1,100 government filings.
