Completed in 1939, 253 East 181 St rises 6 stories over Bronx. Public records put it at 37 units and 32,175 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-1. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.3M, and assessed for tax at $1.0M. In the 55 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,062 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,029 of its 2,062 records, fully 50%, fall under that one heading. Violation (713) and inspection (125) trail well behind. 30 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 2012.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 19, with a site energy-use intensity of 115.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 220 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 50% complaint, 55 years of accumulation, a parcel of Bronx — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$2.3M of Bronx, written across 2,062 government filings.
