Completed in 1913, 49 East 21 St rises 12 stories over New York. Public records put it at 44 units and 67,426 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M1-5M. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.6M, and assessed for tax at $2.1M. In the 1827 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,993 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward release: 1,067 of its 1,993 records, fully 54%, fall under that one heading. Mortgage (254) and permit (232) 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 2005.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 5, with a site energy-use intensity of 77.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 447 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 54% release, 1827 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.

$4.6M of New York, written across 1,993 government filings.
