Completed in 1955, 703 8 Ave rises 3 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 1 unit and 35,600 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7B. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.1M, and assessed for tax at $1.8M. In the 37 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 97 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 26 of its 97 records, fully 27%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (21) and enforcement (18) trail well behind. 10 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 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 58, with a site energy-use intensity of 78.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 204 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 27% permit, 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.

$4.1M of Kings, written across 97 government filings.
