It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $27.9M, and assessed for tax at $12.5M. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,077 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 558 of its 1,077 records, fully 52%, fall under that one heading. Violation (195) and inspection (95) trail well behind. No 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 2008.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 59, with a site energy-use intensity of 83.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 589 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 52% complaint, 59 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.

$27.9M of New York, written across 1,077 government filings.
