Completed in 1926, 1554 Ocean Ave rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 73 units and 65,980 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.0M, and assessed for tax at $1.8M. In the 112 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,768 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,091 of its 1,768 records, fully 62%, fall under that one heading. Violation (559) and enforcement (29) trail well behind. 158 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 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 7, with a site energy-use intensity of 116.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 458 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 62% complaint, 112 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$4.0M of Kings, written across 1,768 government filings.
