It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $378M, and assessed for tax at $170M. In the 53 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,544 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 1,513 of its 2,544 records, fully 59%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (376) and violation (292) trail well behind. 155 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 139.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 38,540 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 59% permit, 53 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.

$378M of New York, written across 2,544 government filings.
