It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $8.3M, and assessed for tax at $3.7M. In the 37 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 4,367 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 2,146 of its 4,367 records, fully 49%, fall under that one heading. Violation (1,832) and inspection (141) trail well behind. 141 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 2016.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 16, with a site energy-use intensity of 90.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 361 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 49% complaint, 37 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$8.3M of Kings, written across 4,367 government filings.
