The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 79, with a site energy-use intensity of 43.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 939 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 55% permit, 60 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.

$81.2M of New York, written across 1,647 government filings.
