In the 56 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,296 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 62.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 109 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 57% complaint, 56 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$1.1M of Kings, written across 1,296 government filings.
