In the 41 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,229 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 568 of its 1,229 records, fully 46%, fall under that one heading. Violation (324) and enforcement (131) trail well behind. No 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 is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 112.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 4,313 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 46% permit, 41 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.

$25.0M of New York, written across 1,229 government filings.
