Completed in 1941, 816 Ocean Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 41 units and 32,385 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.3M, and assessed for tax at $1.5M. In the 71 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,581 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 783 of its 1,581 records, fully 50%, fall under that one heading. Violation (577) and enforcement (69) trail well behind. 53 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 81, with a site energy-use intensity of 69.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 146 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 50% complaint, 71 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.3M of Kings, written across 1,581 government filings.
