Completed in 1929, 171 West 78 St rises 15 stories over New York. Public records put it at 90 units and 96,992 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C2-7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $16.1M, and assessed for tax at $7.3M. In the 54 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 708 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 167 of its 708 records, fully 24%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (160) and complaint (128) trail well behind. 5 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.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 47, with a site energy-use intensity of 81.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 519 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 24% permit, 54 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.

$16.1M of New York, written across 708 government filings.
