Completed in 1931, 116 John St rises 35 stories over New York. Public records put it at 418 units and 338,463 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $99.6M, and assessed for tax at $44.8M. In the 52 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,728 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,364 of its 2,728 records, fully 50%, fall under that one heading. Violation (400) and permit (389) trail well behind. 105 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 2022.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 50, with a site energy-use intensity of 59.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,780 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 50% complaint, 52 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.

$99.6M of New York, written across 2,728 government filings.
