Completed in 1985, 1970 Amsterdam Ave rises 13 stories over New York. Public records put it at 180 units and 133,244 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $16.9M, and assessed for tax at $7.6M. In the 42 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 885 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 248 of its 885 records, fully 28%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (241) and permit (169) trail well behind. 60 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 100, with a site energy-use intensity of 21.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 285 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 28% violation, 42 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.

$16.9M of New York, written across 885 government filings.
