It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $181M, and assessed for tax at $81.4M. In the 61 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,610 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 739 of its 2,610 records, fully 28%, fall under that one heading. Violation (646) and enforcement (488) trail well behind. 35 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 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 73, with a site energy-use intensity of 86.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 8,306 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 28% permit, 61 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.

$181M of New York, written across 2,610 government filings.
