Completed in 1928, 402 Foster Ave rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 40 units and 29,400 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.2M, and assessed for tax at $990K. In the 93 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,000 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 437 of its 1,000 records, fully 44%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (429) and enforcement (24) trail well behind. 48 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 2008.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 51, with a site energy-use intensity of 88.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 172 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 44% violation, 93 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$2.2M of Kings, written across 1,000 government filings.
