Completed in 1926, 231 Ocean Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 66 units and 58,332 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-1. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.3M, and assessed for tax at $2.4M. In the 96 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,126 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 680 of its 1,126 records, fully 60%, fall under that one heading. Violation (317) and enforcement (39) trail well behind. 41 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 2020.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 69, with a site energy-use intensity of 80.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 324 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 60% complaint, 96 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$5.3M of Kings, written across 1,126 government filings.
