1,283records on file

Completed in 1924, 270 West 38 St rises 21 stories over New York. Public records put it at 67 units and 255,696 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M1-9A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $71.0M, and assessed for tax at $31.9M. In the 62 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,283 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 423 of its 1,283 records, fully 33%, fall under that one heading. Permit (320) and enforcement (228) trail well behind. 59 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 1.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 43 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 33% violation, 62 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.

$71.0M of New York, written across 1,283 government filings.
