Completed in 1993, 174 Forsyth St rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 40 units and 38,880 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C4-4A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.3M, and assessed for tax at $2.4M. In the 56 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 862 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 348 of its 862 records, fully 40%, fall under that one heading. Violation (283) and inspection (123) trail well behind. 4 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 2020.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 37, with a site energy-use intensity of 90.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 233 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 40% complaint, 56 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.

$5.3M of New York, written across 862 government filings.
