The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2014.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 85, with a site energy-use intensity of 59.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 218 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 27% permit, 40 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$412K of Kings, written across 285 government filings.
