Completed in 2007, 796 Sterling Pl rises 5 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 82 units and 61,565 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6A. 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 1,702 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 732 of its 1,702 records, fully 43%, fall under that one heading. Violation (681) and enforcement (81) trail well behind. 184 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 — 43% 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 1,702 government filings.
