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 — 67% complaint, 99 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

67% of every record here performs the same act: complaint.
