Completed in 1975, 969 Gates Ave rises 6 stories over Kings. Public records put it at 116 units and 119,920 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R6A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $15.2M, and assessed for tax at $6.8M. In the 55 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 3,897 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 2,013 of its 3,897 records, fully 52%, fall under that one heading. Violation (1,656) and inspection (86) trail well behind. 80 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 2013.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 25, with a site energy-use intensity of 107.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 883 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 52% 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.

$15.2M of Kings, written across 3,897 government filings.
