It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $113M, and assessed for tax at $50.9M. In the 44 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,316 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 454 of its 1,316 records, fully 34%, fall under that one heading. Permit (372) and enforcement (276) trail well behind. 44 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 91, with a site energy-use intensity of 45.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,114 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 34% violation, 44 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$113M of Kings, written across 1,316 government filings.
