It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $9.6M, and assessed for tax at $4.3M. In the 51 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 103 separate government filings.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 55, with a site energy-use intensity of 60.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 186 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 31% permit, 51 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$9.6M of Kings, written across 103 government filings.
