It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $77.7M, and assessed for tax at $35.0M. In the 56 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,582 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 748 of its 1,582 records, fully 47%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (309) and violation (257) trail well behind. 21 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 2009.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 49, with a site energy-use intensity of 92.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,878 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 47% permit, 56 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.

$77.7M of New York, written across 1,582 government filings.
