Completed in 1939, 590 Ocean Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 65 units and 70,566 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.2M, and assessed for tax at $1.9M. In the 88 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,058 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 597 of its 1,058 records, fully 56%, fall under that one heading. Violation (311) and enforcement (39) trail well behind. 16 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 2007.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 58, with a site energy-use intensity of 83.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 370 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 56% complaint, 88 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$4.2M of Kings, written across 1,058 government filings.
