Completed in 1913, 48 St Nicholas Pl rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 41 units and 42,924 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R8A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.8M, and assessed for tax at $2.2M. In the 55 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,329 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 591 of its 1,329 records, fully 44%, fall under that one heading. Violation (435) and enforcement (103) trail well behind. 63 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 2018.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 100, with a site energy-use intensity of 14.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 64 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 44% complaint, 55 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.

$4.8M of New York, written across 1,329 government filings.
