Completed in 1922, 1439 Ocean Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 72 units and 81,630 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.4M, and assessed for tax at $2.4M. In the 105 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 8,751 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 5,572 of its 8,751 records, fully 64%, fall under that one heading. Violation (2,943) and enforcement (80) trail well behind. 103 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 2021.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 66, with a site energy-use intensity of 85.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 464 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 64% complaint, 105 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$5.4M of Kings, written across 8,751 government filings.
