It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $512M, and assessed for tax at $230M. In the 95 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 5,041 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 2,470 of its 5,041 records, fully 49%, fall under that one heading. Violation (825) and enforcement (798) trail well behind. 388 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 93, with a site energy-use intensity of 35.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 2,122 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 49% permit, 95 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$512M of Kings, written across 5,041 government filings.
