The lot at 159 West 118 St rises 5 stories over New York. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $212K, and assessed for tax at $95.4K. In the 36 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 404 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward release: 85 of its 404 records, fully 21%, fall under that one heading. Permit (69) and violation (68) trail well behind. No 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 17, with a site energy-use intensity of 98.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 315 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 21% release, 36 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.

$212K of New York, written across 404 government filings.
