Completed in 2024, 540 Atlantic Ave rises 8 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 160 units and 157,265 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $43.0M, and assessed for tax at $19.3M. In the 58 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 819 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 209 of its 819 records, fully 26%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (166) and complaint (150) trail well behind. 14 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 90, with a site energy-use intensity of 43.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 212 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 26% violation, 58 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$43.0M of Kings, written across 819 government filings.
