It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $1.7M, and assessed for tax at $753K. In the 50 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 802 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 2013.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 19, with a site energy-use intensity of 114.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 187 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 53% complaint, 50 years of accumulation, a parcel of Bronx — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$1.7M of Bronx, written across 802 government filings.
