Completed in 1906, 257 Central Park West rises 12 stories over New York. Public records put it at 73 units and 148,380 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R10A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $41.5M, and assessed for tax at $18.7M. In the 121 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,025 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 350 of its 1,025 records, fully 34%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (263) and enforcement (130) trail well behind. 18 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 2017.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 94, with a site energy-use intensity of 46.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 614 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 34% permit, 121 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.

$41.5M of New York, written across 1,025 government filings.
