Completed in 1938, 2553 Amsterdam Ave rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 62 units and 61,150 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.5M, and assessed for tax at $2.0M. In the 45 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,557 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,460 of its 2,557 records, fully 57%, fall under that one heading. Violation (886) and inspection (67) trail well behind. 109 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 2015.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 37, with a site energy-use intensity of 100.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 329 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 57% complaint, 45 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.

$4.5M of New York, written across 2,557 government filings.
