Completed in 1972, 1520 York Ave rises 31 stories over New York. Public records put it at 270 units and 281,902 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R10. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $85.0M, and assessed for tax at $38.3M. In the 58 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 849 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 208 of its 849 records, fully 24%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (168) and enforcement (159) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 1, with a site energy-use intensity of 218.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 3,141 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 24% 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.

$85.0M of New York, written across 849 government filings.
