Completed in 1930, 956 Kent Ave rises 9 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 103 units and 108,679 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $187K, and assessed for tax at $84.1K. In the 43 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 869 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 198 of its 869 records, fully 23%, fall under that one heading. Release (175) and mortgage (134) trail well behind. 12 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 2006.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 58, with a site energy-use intensity of 68.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 724 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 23% permit, 43 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$187K of Kings, written across 869 government filings.
