The documentary life of the address leans hard toward sale: 7 of its 30 records, fully 23%, fall under that one heading. Mortgage (6) and complaint (5) trail well behind. No 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 2010.

Read together — 23% sale, 55 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$1.1M of Kings, written across 30 government filings.
