Completed in 1921, 500 East 72 St rises 10 stories over New York. Public records put it at 6 units and 340,066 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $25.0M, and assessed for tax at $11.2M. In the 41 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,114 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 489 of its 1,114 records, fully 44%, fall under that one heading. Violation (307) and enforcement (127) 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 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 — 44% 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 1,114 government filings.
