It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.2M, and assessed for tax at $1.4M. In the 61 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,926 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,554 of its 2,926 records, fully 53%, fall under that one heading. Violation (1,105) and inspection (94) trail well behind. 190 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 2025.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 14, with a site energy-use intensity of 98.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 420 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 53% complaint, 61 years of accumulation, a parcel of Bronx — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.2M of Bronx, written across 2,926 government filings.
