Completed in 1951, 290 Madison Ave rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 6 units and 36,681 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-3. 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 540 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 129 of its 540 records, fully 24%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (89) and assignment (78) 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 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 — 24% 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 540 government filings.
