It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $38.4M, and assessed for tax at $17.3M. In the 55 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 4,895 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 2,874 of its 4,895 records, fully 59%, fall under that one heading. Violation (1,288) and enforcement (307) trail well behind. 106 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 2005.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 25, with a site energy-use intensity of 62.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,517 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 59% complaint, 55 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$38.4M of Kings, written across 4,895 government filings.
