Completed in 1924, 1287 Ocean Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 48 units and 52,450 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.5M, and assessed for tax at $1.1M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 4,986 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 2,441 of its 4,986 records, fully 49%, fall under that one heading. Violation (2,306) and enforcement (77) trail well behind. 349 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 2020.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 56, with a site energy-use intensity of 74.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 297 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 49% complaint, 60 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$2.5M of Kings, written across 4,986 government filings.
