101records on file

Completed in 1899, 38 Fountain Ave rises 2 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 2 units and 1,824 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R5B. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $751K, and assessed for tax at $45.1K. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 101 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 20 of its 101 records, fully 20%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (17) and violation (13) trail well behind. 2 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 2006.

Read together — 20% enforcement, 60 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$751K of Kings, written across 101 government filings.
