Completed in 1927, 522 Ocean Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 99 units and 78,889 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $6.3M, and assessed for tax at $2.8M. In the 99 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,580 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,430 of its 2,580 records, fully 55%, fall under that one heading. Violation (781) and enforcement (185) trail well behind. 130 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 2014.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 31, with a site energy-use intensity of 92.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 522 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 55% complaint, 99 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$6.3M of Kings, written across 2,580 government filings.
