It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $977K, and assessed for tax at $439K. In the 44 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 499 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 177 of its 499 records, fully 35%, fall under that one heading. Violation (74) and complaint (51) 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 2007.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 49, with a site energy-use intensity of 63.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 223 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 35% permit, 44 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$977K of Kings, written across 499 government filings.
