Completed in 1886, 178 Franklin St rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 119 units and 81,110 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6B. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $14.6M, and assessed for tax at $6.6M. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 3,644 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 2,145 of its 3,644 records, fully 59%, fall under that one heading. Violation (1,207) and permit (77) trail well behind. 47 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 2018.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 69.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 382 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 59% complaint, 59 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$14.6M of Kings, written across 3,644 government filings.
