Completed in 1911, 48 East 21 St rises 12 stories over New York. Public records put it at 114 units and 185,471 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M1-5M. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $710K, and assessed for tax at $319K. In the 44 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,471 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 531 of its 2,471 records, fully 21%, fall under that one heading. Release (481) and mortgage (404) trail well behind. 15 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 2006.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 9, with a site energy-use intensity of 56.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,249 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 21% permit, 44 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.

$710K of New York, written across 2,471 government filings.
