Completed in 1930, 2486 Amsterdam Ave rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 43 units and 36,810 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $1.7M, and assessed for tax at $752K. In the 52 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 901 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 551 of its 901 records, fully 61%, fall under that one heading. Violation (219) and inspection (36) trail well behind. 35 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 2011.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 83, with a site energy-use intensity of 66.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 176 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 61% complaint, 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.

$1.7M of New York, written across 901 government filings.
