A RegWatch Dossier

80records on file

Completed in 1899, 157 North 5 St rises 3 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 3 units and 4,000 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6B. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.2M, and assessed for tax at $253K. In the 55 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 80 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 20 of its 80 records, fully 25%, fall under that one heading. Violation (15) and inspection (13) trail well behind. 2 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 2003.

Read together — 25% enforcement, 55 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$4.2M of Kings, written across 80 government filings.
