It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $12.5M, and assessed for tax at $5.6M. In the 58 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 495 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 174 of its 495 records, fully 35%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (97) and violation (57) trail well behind. 3 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 2015.

Read together — 35% permit, 58 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.

$12.5M of New York, written across 495 government filings.
