Completed in 1940, 2 West 9 St rises 17 stories over New York. Public records put it at 115 units and 132,420 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R10. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $44.2M, and assessed for tax at $19.9M. In the 86 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 843 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 415 of its 843 records, fully 49%, fall under that one heading. Violation (113) and inspection (93) 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 2025.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 17, with a site energy-use intensity of 92.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,025 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 49% complaint, 86 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.

$44.2M of New York, written across 843 government filings.
