The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 1, with a site energy-use intensity of 125.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 335 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 23% complaint, 36 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 269 government filings.
