It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $187K, and assessed for tax at $83.9K. In the 39 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 3,312 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 972 of its 3,312 records, fully 29%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (670) and assignment (518) trail well behind. 782 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 75, with a site energy-use intensity of 60.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 573 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 29% violation, 39 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$187K of Kings, written across 3,312 government filings.
