The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 69 of its 278 records, fully 25%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (54) and violation (50) 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 2011.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 27, with a site energy-use intensity of 96.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,407 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 25% permit, 60 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.

$52.6M of New York, written across 278 government filings.
