A RegWatch Dossier

937records on file

The lot at 253-256 Broadway rises 15 stories over New York. In the 50 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 937 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 366 of its 937 records, fully 39%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (307) and violation (143) trail well behind. 13 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 is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 59.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,422 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 39% permit, 50 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.

937 filings. 50 years. One address.
