Completed in 1964, 561 Johnson Ave rises 1 story over Kings. Public records put it at 3 units and 32,272 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M3-1. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.8M, and assessed for tax at $1.7M. In the 57 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 110 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 61 of its 110 records, fully 55%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (12) and c of o (11) trail well behind. No 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 2017.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 39, with a site energy-use intensity of 43.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 120 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 55% permit, 57 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.8M of Kings, written across 110 government filings.
