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

Read together — 59% complaint, 45 years of accumulation, a parcel of Bronx — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$2.6M of Bronx, written across 2,705 government filings.
