The lot at 215 E. 96TH St rises 41 stories over New York. In the 32 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 824 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 329 of its 824 records, fully 40%, fall under that one heading. Permit (237) and violation (106) trail well behind. 4 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 26, with a site energy-use intensity of 91.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 3,211 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 40% inspection, 32 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.

824 filings. 32 years. One address.
