It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.2M, and assessed for tax at $2.4M. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,565 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 872 of its 1,565 records, fully 56%, fall under that one heading. Violation (509) and inspection (45) trail well behind. 38 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 2015.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 69, with a site energy-use intensity of 71.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 528 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 56% complaint, 59 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$5.2M of Kings, written across 1,565 government filings.
