It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $8.4M, and assessed for tax at $3.8M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,738 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 736 of its 1,738 records, fully 42%, fall under that one heading. Violation (701) and enforcement (81) trail well behind. 198 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 80, with a site energy-use intensity of 52.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 299 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 42% complaint, 60 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$8.4M of Kings, written across 1,738 government filings.
