Completed in 1966, 1251 3 Ave rises 27 stories over New York. Public records put it at 152 units and 206,504 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R10A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $59.5M, and assessed for tax at $26.8M. In the 57 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 970 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 364 of its 970 records, fully 38%, fall under that one heading. Violation (191) and inspection (116) trail well behind. 26 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 2018.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 5, with a site energy-use intensity of 136.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 2,164 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 38% permit, 57 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.

$59.5M of New York, written across 970 government filings.
