Completed in 1931, 16 Sumner Pl rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 1 unit and 33,370 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C4-3. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.7M, and assessed for tax at $2.1M. In the 37 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 260 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 58 of its 260 records, fully 22%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (48) and violation (45) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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 2019.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 12, with a site energy-use intensity of 126.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 352 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 22% permit, 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.

$4.7M of Kings, written across 260 government filings.
