Completed in 1880, 55 Poplar St rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 65 units and 52,344 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R8. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $29.3K, and assessed for tax at $13.2K. In the 39 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,196 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward mortgage: 395 of its 1,196 records, fully 33%, fall under that one heading. Release (338) and sale (225) trail well behind. 7 violations stand open against it today.

The pace is anything but even. The record runs hot early and quiets with age, with 1988 its single busiest year.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 88, with a site energy-use intensity of 31.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 244 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 33% mortgage, 39 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$29.3K of Kings, written across 1,196 government filings.
