The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2016.

Read together — 44% inspection, 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.

$8.6M of New York, written across 337 government filings.
