In the 41 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 5,418 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward mortgage: 1,339 of its 5,418 records, fully 25%, fall under that one heading. Release (1,218) and sale (1,078) trail well behind. 13 violations stand open against it today.

The pace is anything but even. Activity is spread across the decades, with 1992 the busiest year on file.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 57.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 5,574 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 25% mortgage, 41 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.

$238K of New York, written across 5,418 government filings.
