The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 508 of its 1,283 records, fully 40%, fall under that one heading. Violation (312) and permit (197) trail well behind. 124 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.

Read together — 40% complaint, 58 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$31.9M of Kings, written across 1,283 government filings.
