Completed in 1925, 231 Sherman Ave rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 51 units and 47,262 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.8M, and assessed for tax at $1.3M. In the 87 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,133 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 523 of its 1,133 records, fully 46%, fall under that one heading. Violation (386) and enforcement (69) trail well behind. 24 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 2022.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 2, with a site energy-use intensity of 133.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 433 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 46% complaint, 87 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.

$2.8M of New York, written across 1,133 government filings.
