In the 52 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,794 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,108 of its 1,794 records, fully 62%, fall under that one heading. Violation (498) and permit (43) trail well behind. 31 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 2016.

Read together — 62% complaint, 52 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$2.6M of Kings, written across 1,794 government filings.
