Completed in 1915, 163 Front St rises 10 stories over New York. Public records put it at 2 units and 58,500 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-3. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $8.1M, and assessed for tax at $3.7M. In the 61 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 290 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 113 of its 290 records, fully 39%, fall under that one heading. Permit (68) and violation (42) trail well behind. 17 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 0.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 6 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 39% inspection, 61 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.

$8.1M of New York, written across 290 government filings.
