Completed in 1900, 161 Madison Ave rises 12 stories over New York. Public records put it at 42 units and 60,012 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $1.2M, and assessed for tax at $544K. In the 43 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,270 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward assignment: 257 of its 1,270 records, fully 20%, fall under that one heading. Permit (206) and mortgage (190) trail well behind. 12 violations stand open against it today.

The pace is anything but even. Activity is spread across the decades, with 1987 the busiest year on file.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 100, with a site energy-use intensity of 35.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 230 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 20% assignment, 43 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.

$1.2M of New York, written across 1,270 government filings.
