Completed in 1925, 1398 Ocean Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 48 units and 44,250 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.8M, and assessed for tax at $1.2M. In the 102 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 840 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 463 of its 840 records, fully 55%, fall under that one heading. Violation (281) and inspection (29) trail well behind. 112 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 2019.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 68, with a site energy-use intensity of 82.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 268 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 55% complaint, 102 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$2.8M of Kings, written across 840 government filings.
