It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.3M, and assessed for tax at $2.4M. In the 61 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,338 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2025.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 49, with a site energy-use intensity of 99.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 371 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 56% complaint, 61 years of accumulation, a parcel of Richmond — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$5.3M of Richmond, written across 1,338 government filings.
