It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $92.5M, and assessed for tax at $41.6M. In the 77 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,452 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 449 of its 1,452 records, fully 31%, fall under that one heading. Permit (403) and enforcement (259) trail well behind. 65 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 79, with a site energy-use intensity of 64.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 2,164 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 31% violation, 77 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.

$92.5M of New York, written across 1,452 government filings.
