Completed in 1989, 261 West 16 St rises 20 stories over New York. Public records put it at 159 units and 136,095 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C1-6A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.0M, and assessed for tax at $1.4M. In the 48 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,491 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward mortgage: 566 of its 2,491 records, fully 23%, fall under that one heading. Permit (520) and enforcement (298) trail well behind. 12 violations stand open against it today.

The pace is anything but even. Activity is spread across the decades, with 1993 the busiest year on file.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 80.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,301 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 23% mortgage, 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.

$3.0M of New York, written across 2,491 government filings.
