Completed in 1971, 181 Convent Ave rises 13 stories over New York. Public records put it at 1 unit and 620,000 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $155M, and assessed for tax at $69.9M. In the 58 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 985 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 423 of its 985 records, fully 43%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (289) and violation (175) trail well behind. 36 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 17.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 590 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 43% permit, 58 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.

$155M of New York, written across 985 government filings.
