Completed in 1926, 612 Ocean Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 80 units and 75,042 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.9M, and assessed for tax at $2.2M. In the 38 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,600 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 752 of its 1,600 records, fully 47%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (663) and enforcement (87) trail well behind. 124 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 39, with a site energy-use intensity of 95.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 455 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 47% violation, 38 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$4.9M of Kings, written across 1,600 government filings.
