It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $747K, and assessed for tax at $336K. In the 46 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,407 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2012.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 25.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 40 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 57% complaint, 46 years of accumulation, a parcel of Bronx — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$747K of Bronx, written across 1,407 government filings.
