It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $10.8M, and assessed for tax at $4.9M. In the 100 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 497 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 179 of its 497 records, fully 36%, fall under that one heading. Permit (168) and enforcement (46) trail well behind. 6 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 2018.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 161.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,418 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 36% inspection, 100 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.

$10.8M of New York, written across 497 government filings.
