It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.4M, and assessed for tax at $1.1M. In the 40 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,476 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward mortgage: 292 of its 1,476 records, fully 20%, fall under that one heading. Sale (288) and permit (274) trail well behind. 22 violations stand open against it today.

The pace is anything but even. Activity is spread across the decades, with 1987 the busiest year on file.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 28, with a site energy-use intensity of 100.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 611 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 20% mortgage, 40 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.

$2.4M of New York, written across 1,476 government filings.
