Completed in 1920, 120 East 86 St rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 18 units and 25,892 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-1A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.5M, and assessed for tax at $2.5M. In the 38 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 467 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 161 of its 467 records, fully 34%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (127) and violation (66) trail well behind. 8 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 1, with a site energy-use intensity of 120.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 340 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 34% permit, 38 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.

$5.5M of New York, written across 467 government filings.
