It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.8M, and assessed for tax at $1.3M. In the 86 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,338 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2018.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 83, with a site energy-use intensity of 61.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 296 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 52% complaint, 86 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$2.8M of Kings, written across 1,338 government filings.
