Completed in 1936, 1620 Caton Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 31 units and 28,647 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.4M, and assessed for tax at $1.5M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 409 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 163 of its 409 records, fully 40%, fall under that one heading. Violation (89) and assignment (31) trail well behind. 7 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 43, with a site energy-use intensity of 97.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 175 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 40% complaint, 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.

$3.4M of Kings, written across 409 government filings.
