In the 100 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,313 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,192 of its 2,313 records, fully 52%, fall under that one heading. Violation (714) and release (160) trail well behind. 165 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 2020.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 48, with a site energy-use intensity of 101.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 176 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 52% complaint, 100 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$79.3K of Kings, written across 2,313 government filings.
