The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 112 of its 266 records, fully 42%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (32) and inspection (30) trail well behind. 2 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 2020.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 24, with a site energy-use intensity of 28.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 232 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 42% permit, 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.

$14.3M of Kings, written across 266 government filings.
