Completed in 1928, 216 East 45 St rises 17 stories over New York. Public records put it at 21 units and 156,626 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-4. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $42.1M, and assessed for tax at $19.0M. In the 53 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,100 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 512 of its 1,100 records, fully 47%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (213) and enforcement (151) trail well behind. 5 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 2019.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 20, with a site energy-use intensity of 103.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,855 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 47% permit, 53 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.

$42.1M of New York, written across 1,100 government filings.
