Completed in 1925, 49 West 37 St rises 18 stories over New York. Public records put it at 19 units and 140,898 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M1-9A/R12. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $24.1M, and assessed for tax at $10.8M. In the 49 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,105 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 611 of its 1,105 records, fully 55%, fall under that one heading. Permit (185) and violation (126) trail well behind. 17 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 80, with a site energy-use intensity of 64.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 740 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 55% inspection, 49 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.

$24.1M of New York, written across 1,105 government filings.
