It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $857K, and assessed for tax at $386K. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 66 separate government filings.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 87.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 79 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 33% permit, 59 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$857K of Kings, written across 66 government filings.
