Completed in 1926, 2540 Ocean Ave rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 44 units and 33,600 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.1M, and assessed for tax at $1.4M. In the 100 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,831 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,024 of its 1,831 records, fully 56%, fall under that one heading. Violation (610) and enforcement (95) trail well behind. 62 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 2018.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 31, with a site energy-use intensity of 101.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 229 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 56% complaint, 100 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.1M of Kings, written across 1,831 government filings.
