Completed in 1997, 221 East 38 St rises 52 stories over New York. Public records put it at 470 units and 624,519 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C1-9. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $154M, and assessed for tax at $69.3M. In the 52 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 755 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 223 of its 755 records, fully 30%, fall under that one heading. Permit (152) and violation (151) trail well behind. No 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 1998.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 18, with a site energy-use intensity of 87.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 3,789 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 30% inspection, 52 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.

$154M of New York, written across 755 government filings.
