Completed in 1946, 45 East 135 St rises 13 stories over New York. Public records put it at 206 units and 232,414 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $16.6M, and assessed for tax at $7.5M. In the 51 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 3,058 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,842 of its 3,058 records, fully 60%, fall under that one heading. Violation (698) and inspection (218) trail well behind. 137 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 2025.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 100, with a site energy-use intensity of 29.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 675 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 60% complaint, 51 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.

$16.6M of New York, written across 3,058 government filings.
