Completed in 1920, 156 East 117 St rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 37 units and 29,975 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7D. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.3M, and assessed for tax at $1.5M. In the 43 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 870 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 276 of its 870 records, fully 32%, fall under that one heading. Violation (176) and enforcement (153) trail well behind. 12 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 2014.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 85, with a site energy-use intensity of 58.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 169 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 32% complaint, 43 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.

$3.3M of New York, written across 870 government filings.
