Completed in 1930, 855 Ocean Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 47 units and 57,264 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.5M, and assessed for tax at $1.6M. In the 100 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,260 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 862 of its 1,260 records, fully 68%, fall under that one heading. Violation (222) and permit (41) trail well behind. 23 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 2013.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 99, with a site energy-use intensity of 41.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 173 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 68% complaint, 100 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

68% of every record here performs the same act: complaint.
