Completed in 1900, 597 Grand Ave rises 4 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 52 units and 56,377 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6B. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $7.6M, and assessed for tax at $3.4M. In the 57 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,019 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 440 of its 1,019 records, fully 43%, fall under that one heading. Violation (370) and inspection (68) trail well behind. 87 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 48, with a site energy-use intensity of 78.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 292 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 43% complaint, 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.

$7.6M of Kings, written across 1,019 government filings.
