It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $32.8M, and assessed for tax at $14.8M. In the 99 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 776 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 306 of its 776 records, fully 39%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (147) and complaint (112) trail well behind. 7 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 2006.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 79, with a site energy-use intensity of 60.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 613 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 39% permit, 99 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.

$32.8M of New York, written across 776 government filings.
