It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.2M, and assessed for tax at $1.0M. In the 53 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,249 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 615 of its 1,249 records, fully 49%, fall under that one heading. Violation (360) and enforcement (137) trail well behind. 6 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 2006.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 54, with a site energy-use intensity of 102.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 288 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 49% complaint, 53 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.

$2.2M of New York, written across 1,249 government filings.
