Completed in 1962, 215 Lexington Ave rises 21 stories over New York. Public records put it at 2 units and 208,233 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-2A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $26.2M, and assessed for tax at $11.8M. In the 43 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 880 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 386 of its 880 records, fully 44%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (180) and violation (113) 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 83, with a site energy-use intensity of 63.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,152 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 44% permit, 43 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.

$26.2M of New York, written across 880 government filings.
