It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $8.1M, and assessed for tax at $3.7M. In the 27 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 426 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 149 of its 426 records, fully 35%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (132) and complaint (51) 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 2017.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 119.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 566 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 35% inspection, 27 years of accumulation, a parcel of Bronx — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$8.1M of Bronx, written across 426 government filings.
