Completed in 1954, 165 Clinton Ave rises 7 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 67 units and 76,200 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $7.8M, and assessed for tax at $3.5M. In the 44 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 829 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 353 of its 829 records, fully 43%, fall under that one heading. Violation (190) and permit (135) trail well behind. 144 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 2013.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 1, with a site energy-use intensity of 35.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 281 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 43% complaint, 44 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$7.8M of Kings, written across 829 government filings.
