Completed in 1906, 158 West 55 St rises 12 stories over New York. Public records put it at 103 units and 158,617 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $32.1M, and assessed for tax at $14.4M. In the 61 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,492 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 631 of its 1,492 records, fully 42%, fall under that one heading. Violation (302) and enforcement (254) trail well behind. 143 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 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 57, with a site energy-use intensity of 59.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 840 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 42% complaint, 61 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.

$32.1M of New York, written across 1,492 government filings.
