Completed in 1900, 5 Delavan St rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 102 units and 113,628 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $25.0M, and assessed for tax at $11.3M. In the 61 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,210 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 470 of its 1,210 records, fully 39%, fall under that one heading. Violation (431) and enforcement (104) trail well behind. 24 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 2015.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 44, with a site energy-use intensity of 67.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 523 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 39% complaint, 61 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$25.0M of Kings, written across 1,210 government filings.
