Completed in 2012, 544 Union Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 98 units and 119,598 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M1-2/R6A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $21.5M, and assessed for tax at $9.7M. In the 49 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 307 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 115 of its 307 records, fully 37%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (53) and complaint (47) trail well behind. No 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 2013.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 67, with a site energy-use intensity of 45.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 509 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 37% permit, 49 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$21.5M of Kings, written across 307 government filings.
