It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $540K, and assessed for tax at $243K. In the 39 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,507 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward sale: 637 of its 2,507 records, fully 25%, fall under that one heading. Mortgage (392) and release (368) trail well behind. 14 violations stand open against it today.

The pace is anything but even. Activity is spread across the decades, with 1993 the busiest year on file.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 46, with a site energy-use intensity of 66.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 989 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 25% sale, 39 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.

$540K of New York, written across 2,507 government filings.
