Completed in 1905, 185 Wadsworth Ave rises 5 stories over New York. Public records put it at 3 units and 83,087 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $8.1M, and assessed for tax at $3.6M. In the 32 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 809 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 466 of its 809 records, fully 58%, fall under that one heading. Violation (120) and inspection (80) trail well behind. 17 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 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 71, with a site energy-use intensity of 77.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 620 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 58% permit, 32 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.

$8.1M of New York, written across 809 government filings.
