It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $32.0M, and assessed for tax at $14.4M. In the 56 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 771 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 143 of its 771 records, fully 19%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (141) and enforcement (135) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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 posts an Energy Star score of 82, with a site energy-use intensity of 44.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 385 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 19% violation, 56 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.

$32.0M of New York, written across 771 government filings.
