Completed in 1931, 131 Madison Ave rises 15 stories over New York. Public records put it at 8 units and 98,234 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $34.6M, and assessed for tax at $15.6M. In the 91 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 868 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 303 of its 868 records, fully 35%, fall under that one heading. Violation (189) and enforcement (108) trail well behind. 58 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 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 87, with a site energy-use intensity of 57.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 534 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 35% permit, 91 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.

$34.6M of New York, written across 868 government filings.
