Completed in 1920, 17 John St rises 15 stories over New York. Public records put it at 81 units and 111,423 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $33.4M, and assessed for tax at $15.0M. In the 127 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 821 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 206 of its 821 records, fully 25%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (155) and permit (154) trail well behind. No 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 2018.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 95, with a site energy-use intensity of 35.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 378 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 25% violation, 127 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.

$33.4M of New York, written across 821 government filings.
