It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $6.8M, and assessed for tax at $3.1M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,602 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,683 of its 2,602 records, fully 65%, fall under that one heading. Violation (569) and inspection (110) trail well behind. 19 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 — 65% 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.

65% of every record here performs the same act: complaint.
