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 831 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 209 of its 831 records, fully 25%, fall under that one heading. Permit (177) and enforcement (157) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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 2026.

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 831 government filings.
