It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $10.9M, and assessed for tax at $4.9M. In the 117 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 405 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 152 of its 405 records, fully 38%, fall under that one heading. Permit (114) and violation (39) trail well behind. 6 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 2019.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 73, with a site energy-use intensity of 70.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 234 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 38% inspection, 117 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.

$10.9M of New York, written across 405 government filings.
