Completed in 1924, 157 East 72ND St rises 15 stories over New York. Public records put it at 144 units and 88,955 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R10A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $1.0M, and assessed for tax at $460K. In the 45 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,907 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward mortgage: 445 of its 1,907 records, fully 23%, fall under that one heading. Sale (418) and release (390) trail well behind. 10 violations stand open against it today.

The pace is anything but even. Activity is spread across the decades, with 1984 the busiest year on file.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 76, with a site energy-use intensity of 73.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 561 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 23% mortgage, 45 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.

$1.0M of New York, written across 1,907 government filings.
