Completed in 1959, 2 Franklin Ave rises 5 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 73 units and 56,635 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-1. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $10.7M, and assessed for tax at $4.8M. In the 58 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 319 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 85 of its 319 records, fully 27%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (79) and permit (59) trail well behind. 6 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 2009.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 78, with a site energy-use intensity of 69.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 274 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 27% violation, 58 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$10.7M of Kings, written across 319 government filings.
