Completed in 1973, 125 John St rises 31 stories over New York. Public records put it at 579 units and 541,000 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-4. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $167M, and assessed for tax at $75.1M. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,286 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 388 of its 1,286 records, fully 30%, fall under that one heading. Permit (293) and inspection (195) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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 38, with a site energy-use intensity of 80.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 3,466 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 30% enforcement, 59 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.

$167M of New York, written across 1,286 government filings.
