Completed in 1925, 1517 Ocean Ave rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 45 units and 38,500 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.9M, and assessed for tax at $1.3M. In the 102 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,016 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 567 of its 1,016 records, fully 56%, fall under that one heading. Violation (357) and permit (18) trail well behind. 68 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 51, with a site energy-use intensity of 76.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 186 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 56% 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.

$2.9M of Kings, written across 1,016 government filings.
