It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.5M, and assessed for tax at $1.6M. In the 66 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,176 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,304 of its 2,176 records, fully 60%, fall under that one heading. Violation (601) and enforcement (89) trail well behind. 121 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 2024.

Read together — 60% complaint, 66 years of accumulation, a parcel of Bronx — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.
