The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 140 of its 428 records, fully 33%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (126) and enforcement (69) trail well behind. No 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 87, with a site energy-use intensity of 63.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 112 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 33% permit, 61 years of accumulation, a parcel of New York — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$7.2M of New York, written across 428 government filings.
