Completed in 1905, 238 2 Ave rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 1 unit and 36,783 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R8A. 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 555 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 167 of its 555 records, fully 30%, fall under that one heading. Violation (150) and permit (142) trail well behind. 22 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 64, with a site energy-use intensity of 73.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 345 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 30% enforcement, 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 555 government filings.
