Completed in 1960, 144 East 44 St rises 8 stories over New York. Public records put it at 12 units and 51,433 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-2.5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $15.2M, and assessed for tax at $6.8M. In the 47 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 280 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 115 of its 280 records, fully 41%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (57) and violation (39) 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 2010.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 96, with a site energy-use intensity of 20.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 130 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 41% permit, 47 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.

$15.2M of New York, written across 280 government filings.
