It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $41.1M, and assessed for tax at $18.5M. In the 52 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 599 separate government filings.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 31, with a site energy-use intensity of 97.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 777 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 33% permit, 52 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.

$41.1M of New York, written across 599 government filings.
