The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 121 of its 364 records, fully 33%, fall under that one heading. Permit (78) and violation (65) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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 2022.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 61, with a site energy-use intensity of 41.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 196 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 33% enforcement, 40 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$6.3M of Kings, written across 364 government filings.
