It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $59.4M, and assessed for tax at $26.7M. In the 43 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 367 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 126 of its 367 records, fully 34%, fall under that one heading. Violation (106) and enforcement (76) trail well behind. 9 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 2023.

Read together — 34% permit, 43 years of accumulation, a parcel of Richmond — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$59.4M of Richmond, written across 367 government filings.
