In the 44 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 904 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2007.

Read together — 59% complaint, 44 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$997K of Kings, written across 904 government filings.
