The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 113 of its 512 records, fully 22%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (104) and enforcement (88) trail well behind. 13 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 2015.
