Completed in 1940, 255 West 23 St rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 159 units and 159,090 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R8A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $40.2M, and assessed for tax at $18.1M. In the 48 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,038 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 280 of its 1,038 records, fully 27%, fall under that one heading. Violation (196) and inspection (178) trail well behind. 95 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 1, with a site energy-use intensity of 193.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,910 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 27% permit, 48 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.

$40.2M of New York, written across 1,038 government filings.
