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 1,785 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 844 of its 1,785 records, fully 47%, fall under that one heading. Violation (719) and enforcement (66) trail well behind. 193 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 — 47% 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 1,785 government filings.
