In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,033 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 580 of its 1,033 records, fully 56%, fall under that one heading. Violation (160) and complaint (104) trail well behind. 55 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 2025.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 48, with a site energy-use intensity of 87.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,067 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 56% inspection, 60 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$17.6M of Kings, written across 1,033 government filings.
