It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.4M, and assessed for tax at $2.4M. In the 50 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 364 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 83 of its 364 records, fully 23%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (83) and permit (78) trail well behind. 2 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 49, with a site energy-use intensity of 102.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 165 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 23% violation, 50 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$5.4M of Kings, written across 364 government filings.
