It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.1M, and assessed for tax at $2.3M. In the 56 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 299 separate government filings.

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 — 26% violation, 56 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$5.1M of Kings, written across 299 government filings.
