Completed in 1975, 940 Gates Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 104 units and 106,804 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $7.2M, and assessed for tax at $3.3M. In the 55 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,432 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 792 of its 1,432 records, fully 55%, fall under that one heading. Violation (360) and enforcement (77) trail well behind. 59 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 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 24, with a site energy-use intensity of 108.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 779 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 55% complaint, 55 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$7.2M of Kings, written across 1,432 government filings.
