It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $10.6M, and assessed for tax at $4.8M. In the 52 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 396 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 117 of its 396 records, fully 30%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (70) and violation (60) trail well behind. 4 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 1, with a site energy-use intensity of 97.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 230 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 30% 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.

$10.6M of New York, written across 396 government filings.
