Completed in 1900, 194 Lafayette St rises 7 stories over New York. Public records put it at 2 units and 81,696 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M1-5/R7D. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $18.6M, and assessed for tax at $8.4M. In the 81 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,306 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 657 of its 1,306 records, fully 50%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (178) and violation (162) trail well behind. 10 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 2012.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 29, with a site energy-use intensity of 92.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,192 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 50% permit, 81 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.

$18.6M of New York, written across 1,306 government filings.
