Completed in 1902, 249 West 17 St rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 1 unit and 108,768 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-2A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $64.8M, and assessed for tax at $29.2M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 852 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 443 of its 852 records, fully 52%, fall under that one heading. Violation (97) and enforcement (96) trail well behind. 4 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 2014.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 51.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 589 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 52% permit, 60 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.

$64.8M of New York, written across 852 government filings.
