Completed in 1935, 172 West 79TH St rises 19 stories over New York. Public records put it at 101,726 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R10A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.7M, and assessed for tax at $2.1M. In the 96 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,419 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 452 of its 1,419 records, fully 32%, fall under that one heading. Release (225) and violation (156) trail well behind. 7 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 63, with a site energy-use intensity of 66.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 817 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 32% permit, 96 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.

$4.7M of New York, written across 1,419 government filings.
