Completed in 1931, 545 Grand Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 1 unit and 78,000 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M1-3/R7D. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.3M, and assessed for tax at $2.4M. In the 104 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 378 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 131 of its 378 records, fully 35%, fall under that one heading. Violation (107) and permit (49) trail well behind. 6 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 2020.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 86, with a site energy-use intensity of 39.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 333 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 35% enforcement, 104 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$5.3M of Kings, written across 378 government filings.
