In the 52 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,098 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,123 of its 2,098 records, fully 54%, fall under that one heading. Violation (769) and enforcement (57) trail well behind. 96 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 2015.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 79, with a site energy-use intensity of 64.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 370 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 54% complaint, 52 years of accumulation, a parcel of Kings — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$6.5M of Kings, written across 2,098 government filings.
