Completed in 1935, 591 Ocean Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 72 units and 66,783 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.3M, and assessed for tax at $1.5M. In the 106 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,381 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 660 of its 1,381 records, fully 48%, fall under that one heading. Violation (535) and inspection (60) trail well behind. 23 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 2019.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 66, with a site energy-use intensity of 78.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 323 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 48% complaint, 106 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.3M of Kings, written across 1,381 government filings.
