It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $12.5M, and assessed for tax at $5.6M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 453 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 167 of its 453 records, fully 37%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (100) and violation (82) trail well behind. 13 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 2007.

Read together — 37% permit, 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.

$12.5M of Kings, written across 453 government filings.
