The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 13 of its 48 records, fully 27%, fall under that one heading. Permit (11) and complaint (6) trail well behind. No 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 2010.

Read together — 27% enforcement, 36 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$616K of Kings, written across 48 government filings.
