Completed in 1927, 48 West 57 St rises 16 stories over New York. Public records put it at 25 units and 73,732 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-3. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $18.7M, and assessed for tax at $8.4M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,030 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 407 of its 1,030 records, fully 40%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (251) and enforcement (177) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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 posts an Energy Star score of 43, with a site energy-use intensity of 83.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 552 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 40% permit, 60 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.

$18.7M of New York, written across 1,030 government filings.
