In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,212 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,386 of its 2,212 records, fully 63%, fall under that one heading. Violation (654) and permit (37) trail well behind. 58 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 66, with a site energy-use intensity of 75.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 313 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 63% complaint, 60 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$4.8M of Kings, written across 2,212 government filings.
