The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 87 of its 448 records, fully 19%, fall under that one heading. Violation (78) and permit (78) trail well behind. 3 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 2013.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 1, with a site energy-use intensity of 80.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 406 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 19% inspection, 54 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$12.7M of Kings, written across 448 government filings.
