The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 112 of its 334 records, fully 34%, fall under that one heading. Permit (69) and enforcement (57) trail well behind. 8 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 2010.

$19.1M of Kings, written across 334 government filings.
