It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $110M, and assessed for tax at $49.7M. In the 62 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 5,316 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 2,508 of its 5,316 records, fully 47%, fall under that one heading. Permit (1,331) and violation (778) trail well behind. 222 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 2025.

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 — 47% 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 5,316 government filings.
