Completed in 1900, 2381 Broadway rises 7 stories over New York. Public records put it at 44 units and 60,500 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C4-6A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $9.3M, and assessed for tax at $4.2M. In the 72 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 540 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 174 of its 540 records, fully 32%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (137) and violation (70) trail well behind. 19 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 2022.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 70, with a site energy-use intensity of 73.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 353 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 32% permit, 72 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.

$9.3M of New York, written across 540 government filings.
