Completed in 1909, 291 Edgecombe Ave rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 31 units and 27,306 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R8A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.7M, and assessed for tax at $1.2M. In the 118 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,328 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 706 of its 1,328 records, fully 53%, fall under that one heading. Violation (378) and inspection (65) trail well behind. 71 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 2012.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 50, with a site energy-use intensity of 104.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 182 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 53% complaint, 118 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.

$2.7M of New York, written across 1,328 government filings.
