Completed in 1931, 55 Winthrop St rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 77 units and 75,798 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $7.0M, and assessed for tax at $3.2M. In the 96 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 6,440 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 3,854 of its 6,440 records, fully 60%, fall under that one heading. Violation (2,377) and inspection (71) trail well behind. 52 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 48, with a site energy-use intensity of 93.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 450 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 60% complaint, 96 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$7.0M of Kings, written across 6,440 government filings.
