Completed in 1980, 1540 1 Ave rises 35 stories over New York. Public records put it at 316 units and 302,049 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C1-9. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $102M, and assessed for tax at $45.7M. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 930 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 304 of its 930 records, fully 33%, fall under that one heading. Permit (182) and inspection (179) trail well behind. 2 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 2006.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 19, with a site energy-use intensity of 114.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 2,284 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 33% complaint, 59 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.

$102M of New York, written across 930 government filings.
