The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2019.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 71, with a site energy-use intensity of 75.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 549 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 56% complaint, 90 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$7.0M of Kings, written across 1,756 government filings.
