Completed in 2017, 138 East 50TH St rises 63 stories over New York. Public records put it at 125 units and 188,559 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-4.5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.6M, and assessed for tax at $2.0M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,330 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward release: 233 of its 1,330 records, fully 18%, fall under that one heading. Mortgage (213) and permit (188) 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 2021.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 5, with a site energy-use intensity of 98.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,964 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 18% release, 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.

$4.6M of New York, written across 1,330 government filings.
