Completed in 1950, 5602 Clarendon Rd rises 1 story over Kings. Public records put it at 3 units and 2,800 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R4.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 21 of its 52 records, fully 40%, fall under that one heading. Permit (10) and complaint (10) trail well behind. 3 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 2018.

Read together — 40% enforcement, 37 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$566K of Kings, written across 52 government filings.
