It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.1M, and assessed for tax at $1.4M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,727 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 876 of its 1,727 records, fully 51%, fall under that one heading. Violation (639) and enforcement (75) trail well behind. 76 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 2017.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 58, with a site energy-use intensity of 74.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 300 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 51% complaint, 60 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.

$3.1M of New York, written across 1,727 government filings.
