The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2021.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 23, with a site energy-use intensity of 133.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 309 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 62% complaint, 89 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$2.9M of Kings, written across 1,175 government filings.
