Completed in 1911, 147 West 55 St rises 26 stories over New York. Public records put it at 6 units and 207,700 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $82.8M, and assessed for tax at $37.2M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,060 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 355 of its 1,060 records, fully 33%, fall under that one heading. Violation (249) and inspection (210) trail well behind. 31 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 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 90, with a site energy-use intensity of 30.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 737 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 33% 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.

$82.8M of New York, written across 1,060 government filings.
