It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $67.1M, and assessed for tax at $30.2M. In the 75 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,112 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2019.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 49, with a site energy-use intensity of 78.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,040 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 48% permit, 75 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.

$67.1M of New York, written across 1,112 government filings.
