Completed in 1924, 124 West 56 St rises 9 stories over New York. Public records put it at 1 unit and 181,503 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-6.5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $40.9M, and assessed for tax at $18.4M. In the 64 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 837 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 392 of its 837 records, fully 47%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (170) and enforcement (133) trail well behind. 16 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 2011.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 72.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,295 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 47% permit, 64 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.

$40.9M of New York, written across 837 government filings.
