Completed in 1926, 121 West 72 St rises 15 stories over New York. Public records put it at 92 units and 74,654 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C4-6A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $22.5M, and assessed for tax at $10.1M. In the 53 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 660 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 196 of its 660 records, fully 30%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (125) and enforcement (83) trail well behind. 25 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 2012.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 14.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 123 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 30% permit, 53 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.

$22.5M of New York, written across 660 government filings.
