Completed in 1910, 222 East 56 St rises 5 stories over New York. Public records put it at 58 units and 30,635 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $8.4M, and assessed for tax at $3.8M. In the 38 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 218 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 66 of its 218 records, fully 30%, fall under that one heading. Permit (43) and violation (39) trail well behind. 5 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 100, with a site energy-use intensity of 14.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 46 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 30% complaint, 38 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.

$8.4M of New York, written across 218 government filings.
