Completed in 1903, 149 West 45 St rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 1 unit and 27,922 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-5.5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.8M, and assessed for tax at $2.2M. In the 40 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 248 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 100 of its 248 records, fully 40%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (40) and enforcement (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 2017.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 65.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 209 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 40% permit, 40 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.

$4.8M of New York, written across 248 government filings.
