Completed in 1910, 1238 St Nicholas Ave rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 39 units and 55,026 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.8M, and assessed for tax at $1.7M. In the 110 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 6,279 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 3,438 of its 6,279 records, fully 55%, fall under that one heading. Violation (2,177) and enforcement (292) trail well behind. 441 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 71, with a site energy-use intensity of 181.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 742 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 55% complaint, 110 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.

$3.8M of New York, written across 6,279 government filings.
