It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $6.8M, and assessed for tax at $3.1M. In the 51 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,808 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,752 of its 2,808 records, fully 62%, fall under that one heading. Violation (785) and permit (76) trail well behind. 105 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 2019.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 63, with a site energy-use intensity of 87.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 426 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 62% complaint, 51 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.

$6.8M of New York, written across 2,808 government filings.
