Completed in 1928, 1920 Union St rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 65 units and 82,908 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.8M, and assessed for tax at $2.2M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,266 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,457 of its 2,266 records, fully 64%, fall under that one heading. Violation (559) and enforcement (78) trail well behind. 43 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 2005.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 93, with a site energy-use intensity of 55.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 290 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 64% 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 2,266 government filings.
