Completed in 1910, 555 Ocean Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 85 units and 103,472 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $6.0M, and assessed for tax at $2.7M. In the 52 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,769 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 1,350 of its 2,769 records, fully 49%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (1,133) and inspection (108) trail well behind. 96 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 2025.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 98, with a site energy-use intensity of 44.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 314 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 49% violation, 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.

$6.0M of Kings, written across 2,769 government filings.
