Completed in 1929, 157 Hester St rises 4 stories over New York. Public records put it at 81 units and 81,961 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-2G. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $6.9M, and assessed for tax at $3.1M. In the 37 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,452 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 270 of its 1,452 records, fully 19%, fall under that one heading. Mortgage (201) and release (201) trail well behind. 103 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 1991.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 1, with a site energy-use intensity of 79.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 803 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 19% inspection, 37 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.

$6.9M of New York, written across 1,452 government filings.
