Completed in 1894, 18 West Houston St rises 9 stories over New York. Public records put it at 12 units and 204,920 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $60.3M, and assessed for tax at $27.1M. In the 87 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,061 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 295 of its 1,061 records, fully 28%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (232) and permit (212) trail well behind. 115 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 2019.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 58.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 962 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 28% violation, 87 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.

$60.3M of New York, written across 1,061 government filings.
