It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.7M, and assessed for tax at $1.7M. In the 45 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 440 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 2026.

Read together — 52% complaint, 45 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.7M of Kings, written across 440 government filings.
