Completed in 2007, 126 Water St rises 26 stories over New York. Public records put it at 1 unit and 42,568 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $18.3M, and assessed for tax at $8.2M. In the 54 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 487 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 142 of its 487 records, fully 29%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (114) and violation (69) trail well behind. 3 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 2008.

Read together — 29% permit, 54 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.

$18.3M of New York, written across 487 government filings.
