Completed in 1910, 1253 St Nicholas Ave rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 37 units and 32,053 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 52 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,568 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 648 of its 1,568 records, fully 41%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (554) and enforcement (185) 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 2020.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 36, with a site energy-use intensity of 102.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 298 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 41% violation, 52 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 1,568 government filings.
