The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 139 of its 597 records, fully 23%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (121) and sale (78) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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.

Read together — 23% permit, 38 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.

$67.0K of New York, written across 597 government filings.
