The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 119 of its 427 records, fully 28%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (83) and violation (70) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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 2012.

Read together — 28% permit, 52 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$39.2M of Kings, written across 427 government filings.
