Completed in 1927, 234 West 48 St rises 16 stories over New York. Public records put it at 3 units and 117,102 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $51.4M, and assessed for tax at $23.1M. In the 55 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 843 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 172 of its 843 records, fully 20%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (169) and violation (167) trail well behind. 47 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 22, with a site energy-use intensity of 113.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,140 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 20% permit, 55 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.

$51.4M of New York, written across 843 government filings.
