Completed in 1931, 5224 Church Ave rises 1 story over Kings. Public records put it at 3 units and 6,240 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R5.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 34 of its 91 records, fully 37%, fall under that one heading. Permit (30) and violation (8) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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 2006.

Read together — 37% enforcement, 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.

$1.2M of Kings, written across 91 government filings.
