It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $13.2M, and assessed for tax at $5.9M. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 950 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 375 of its 950 records, fully 39%, fall under that one heading. Violation (193) and inspection (148) trail well behind. 5 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 2007.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 64, with a site energy-use intensity of 71.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 293 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 39% complaint, 59 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.

$13.2M of New York, written across 950 government filings.
