Completed in 1965, 505 Wortman Ave rises 1 story over Kings. Public records put it at 1 unit and 40,250 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M1-1. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.8M, and assessed for tax at $1.7M. In the 1824 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 120 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 35 of its 120 records, fully 29%, fall under that one heading. Permit (21) and inspection (18) trail well behind. 4 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 59, with a site energy-use intensity of 32.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 83 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 29% enforcement, 1824 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.8M of Kings, written across 120 government filings.
