The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2022.

Read together — 25% permit, 101 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.

$22.6M of New York, written across 709 government filings.
