Completed in 1928, 178 Ocean Pkwy rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 96 units and 94,050 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $6.9M, and assessed for tax at $3.1M. In the 100 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,750 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 836 of its 1,750 records, fully 48%, fall under that one heading. Violation (712) and enforcement (62) trail well behind. 203 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 2025.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 73, with a site energy-use intensity of 84.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 540 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 48% complaint, 100 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$6.9M of Kings, written across 1,750 government filings.
