The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 35 of its 98 records, fully 36%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (35) and violation (7) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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 2026.

Read together — 36% permit, 42 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 98 government filings.
