Completed in 1929, 1640 Ocean Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 99 units and 100,610 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.5M, and assessed for tax at $2.5M. In the 98 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,422 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,485 of its 2,422 records, fully 61%, fall under that one heading. Violation (791) and enforcement (50) trail well behind. 282 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 2015.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 85, with a site energy-use intensity of 69.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 505 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 61% complaint, 98 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$5.5M of Kings, written across 2,422 government filings.
