Completed in 1929, 645 Ocean Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 56 units and 69,342 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 77 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,208 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 534 of its 1,208 records, fully 44%, fall under that one heading. Violation (497) and enforcement (33) 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 86, with a site energy-use intensity of 59.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 290 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 44% complaint, 77 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 1,208 government filings.
