It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $55.2M, and assessed for tax at $24.9M. In the 61 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,152 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 513 of its 1,152 records, fully 45%, fall under that one heading. Violation (196) and enforcement (164) trail well behind. 6 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 2011.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 77, with a site energy-use intensity of 53.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,232 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 45% permit, 61 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.

$55.2M of New York, written across 1,152 government filings.
