It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $1.4M, and assessed for tax at $634K. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,264 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 2013.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 60.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 44 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 45% complaint, 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.

$1.4M of Kings, written across 1,264 government filings.
