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 351 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 95 of its 351 records, fully 27%, fall under that one heading. Violation (90) and inspection (54) trail well behind. 6 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% complaint, 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 351 government filings.
