Completed in 1900, 285 Lafayette St rises 9 stories over New York. Public records put it at 35 units and 121,400 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-3. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $990K, and assessed for tax at $445K. In the 42 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,271 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 563 of its 1,271 records, fully 44%, fall under that one heading. Mortgage (109) and violation (102) trail well behind. 3 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 2004.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 2, with a site energy-use intensity of 106.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,428 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 44% permit, 42 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.

$990K of New York, written across 1,271 government filings.
