It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.1M, and assessed for tax at $2.3M. In the 76 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 499 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 182 of its 499 records, fully 36%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (158) and permit (51) trail well behind. 12 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 2017.

Read together — 36% violation, 76 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.

$5.1M of New York, written across 499 government filings.
