Completed in 1857, 254 Canal St rises 5 stories over New York. Public records put it at 15 units and 42,500 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M1-5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $17.8M, and assessed for tax at $8.0M. In the 47 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 607 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 208 of its 607 records, fully 34%, fall under that one heading. Permit (204) and violation (69) trail well behind. 24 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 2009.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 75, with a site energy-use intensity of 63.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 280 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 34% enforcement, 47 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.

$17.8M of New York, written across 607 government filings.
