Completed in 1921, 226 East 70 St rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 52 units and 41,898 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R8B. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $16.9M, and assessed for tax at $7.6M. In the 61 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 327 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 138 of its 327 records, fully 42%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (68) and violation (38) 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 posts an Energy Star score of 79, with a site energy-use intensity of 78.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 236 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 42% permit, 61 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.

$16.9M of New York, written across 327 government filings.
