Completed in 2012, 18 West 53 St rises 48 stories over New York. Public records put it at 279,886 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-2.5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $103M, and assessed for tax at $46.6M. In the 40 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,075 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward mortgage: 225 of its 1,075 records, fully 21%, fall under that one heading. Permit (190) and release (180) 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 2014.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 31, with a site energy-use intensity of 89.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 2,781 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 21% mortgage, 40 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.

$103M of New York, written across 1,075 government filings.
