Completed in 1937, 735 Ocean Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 36 units and 36,408 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $1.1M, and assessed for tax at $476K. In the 89 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,641 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 899 of its 1,641 records, fully 55%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (635) and enforcement (29) trail well behind. 29 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 2019.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 67, with a site energy-use intensity of 75.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 180 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 55% violation, 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.

$1.1M of Kings, written across 1,641 government filings.
