It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $31.9M, and assessed for tax at $14.4M. In the 57 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,355 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 493 of its 1,355 records, fully 36%, fall under that one heading. Violation (303) and permit (191) trail well behind. 115 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 89, with a site energy-use intensity of 59.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,119 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 36% complaint, 57 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 1,355 government filings.
