Completed in 1926, 162 West 56 St rises 15 stories over New York. Public records put it at 67 units and 76,364 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $7.3M, and assessed for tax at $3.3M. In the 42 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,701 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward release: 396 of its 1,701 records, fully 23%, fall under that one heading. Mortgage (275) and permit (262) trail well behind. 37 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 2015.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 41, with a site energy-use intensity of 75.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 668 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 23% release, 42 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.

$7.3M of New York, written across 1,701 government filings.
