Completed in 1926, 221 West 12 St rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 59 units and 43,280 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C1-6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $14.9M, and assessed for tax at $6.7M. In the 100 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 365 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 99 of its 365 records, fully 27%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (95) and permit (62) trail well behind. 13 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 2017.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 26, with a site energy-use intensity of 93.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 273 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 27% violation, 100 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.

$14.9M of New York, written across 365 government filings.
