Completed in 1971, 180 Water St rises 29 stories over New York. Public records put it at 574 units and 487,950 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $176M, and assessed for tax at $79.4M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,246 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 311 of its 1,246 records, fully 25%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (296) and enforcement (200) 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 2017.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 91, with a site energy-use intensity of 42.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,838 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 25% permit, 60 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.

$176M of New York, written across 1,246 government filings.
