The lot at 15-17 East 40TH St holds its ground over New York. In the 66 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 227 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 159 of its 227 records, fully 70%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (33) and violation (20) 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 2011.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 59, with a site energy-use intensity of 107.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 507 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 70% permit, 66 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.

70% of every record here performs the same act: permit.
