Completed in 1888, 76 7 Ave rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 4 units and 5,720 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6A.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 32 of its 89 records, fully 36%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (10) and enforcement (10) trail well behind. No 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 2023.

Read together — 36% permit, 60 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.2M of Kings, written across 89 government filings.
