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 903 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 376 of its 903 records, fully 42%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (130) and violation (119) trail well behind. 31 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 2011.

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 — 42% 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 903 government filings.
