The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2004.

Read together — 55% 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.

$2.7M of Kings, written across 710 government filings.
