It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $28.2M, and assessed for tax at $12.7M. In the 61 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,033 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 589 of its 1,033 records, fully 57%, fall under that one heading. Permit (311) and violation (53) trail well behind. No 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 2020.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 86, with a site energy-use intensity of 58.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 538 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 57% inspection, 61 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.

$28.2M of New York, written across 1,033 government filings.
