Completed in 1887, 20 Cedar St rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 1 unit and 49,197 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $7.3M, and assessed for tax at $3.3M. In the 37 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 309 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 100 of its 309 records, fully 32%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (75) and permit (41) trail well behind. 33 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 100, with a site energy-use intensity of 13.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 64 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 32% violation, 37 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.

$7.3M of New York, written across 309 government filings.
