Completed in 1913, 220 West 48 St rises 4 stories over New York. Public records put it at 1 unit and 30,080 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $10.9M, and assessed for tax at $4.9M. In the 40 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 256 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 120 of its 256 records, fully 47%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (40) and mortgage (23) 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 2007.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 45.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 147 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 47% permit, 40 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.

$10.9M of New York, written across 256 government filings.
