It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.4M, and assessed for tax at $1.1M. In the 57 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 87 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 35 of its 87 records, fully 40%, fall under that one heading. Assignment (12) and mortgage (9) trail well behind. 5 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 2022.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 44.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 113 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 40% violation, 57 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$2.4M of Kings, written across 87 government filings.
