It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $7.4M, and assessed for tax at $3.3M. In the 50 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,268 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,068 of its 2,268 records, fully 47%, fall under that one heading. Violation (740) and enforcement (198) trail well behind. 148 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 2011.

Read together — 47% complaint, 50 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.

$7.4M of New York, written across 2,268 government filings.
