The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 1998.

Read together — 33% violation, 51 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$2.0M of Kings, written across 154 government filings.
