On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 2, with a site energy-use intensity of 144.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 11,774 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 48% complaint, 62 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.

$110M of New York, written across 5,932 government filings.
