It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $1.6M, and assessed for tax at $735K. In the 65 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 998 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 14, with a site energy-use intensity of 116.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 203 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 48% complaint, 65 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$1.6M of Kings, written across 998 government filings.
