It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $12.4M, and assessed for tax at $5.6M. In the 57 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 559 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 145 of its 559 records, fully 26%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (89) and assignment (78) trail well behind. 8 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 46, with a site energy-use intensity of 95.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 340 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 26% permit, 57 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.

$12.4M of New York, written across 559 government filings.
