Completed in 2008, 1255 Gates Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 83 units and 66,300 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $8.3M, and assessed for tax at $3.7M. In the 55 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 255 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 65 of its 255 records, fully 25%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (44) and violation (43) trail well behind. 6 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 2025.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 78, with a site energy-use intensity of 70.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 305 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 25% inspection, 55 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$8.3M of Kings, written across 255 government filings.
