Completed in 1927, 109 East 56 St rises 22 stories over New York. Public records put it at 1 unit and 244,619 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $51.7M, and assessed for tax at $23.3M. In the 90 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,109 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 431 of its 1,109 records, fully 39%, fall under that one heading. Permit (391) and violation (126) trail well behind. 9 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 66, with a site energy-use intensity of 94.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,663 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 39% inspection, 90 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.

$51.7M of New York, written across 1,109 government filings.
