The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 231 of its 535 records, fully 43%, fall under that one heading. Assignment (65) and violation (60) trail well behind. No 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 100, with a site energy-use intensity of 36.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 160 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 43% 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.

$17.6M of New York, written across 535 government filings.
