Completed in 1957, 239 East 79 St rises 18 stories over New York. Public records put it at 210 units and 281,825 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R10A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $71.5M, and assessed for tax at $32.2M. In the 54 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,225 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 502 of its 1,225 records, fully 41%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (302) and enforcement (162) trail well behind. 32 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 2018.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 37, with a site energy-use intensity of 85.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,586 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 41% permit, 54 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.

$71.5M of New York, written across 1,225 government filings.
