It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $25.6M, and assessed for tax at $11.5M. In the 49 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 610 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 234 of its 610 records, fully 38%, fall under that one heading. Violation (162) and inspection (79) trail well behind. 3 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 2023.

Read together — 38% permit, 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.

$25.6M of New York, written across 610 government filings.
