Completed in 1924, 221 Seaman Ave rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 228 units and 107,106 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $9.1M, and assessed for tax at $4.1M. In the 53 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,918 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,060 of its 1,918 records, fully 55%, fall under that one heading. Violation (545) and inspection (112) trail well behind. 54 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 2018.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 1, with a site energy-use intensity of 188.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 437 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 55% complaint, 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.

$9.1M of New York, written across 1,918 government filings.
