Completed in 1914, 106 West 38 St rises 20 stories over New York. Public records put it at 30 units and 479,620 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $143M, and assessed for tax at $64.5M. In the 61 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,125 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 881 of its 2,125 records, fully 41%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (319) and assignment (313) trail well behind. 29 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 1996.

Read together — 41% 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.

$143M of New York, written across 2,125 government filings.
