It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $8.2M, and assessed for tax at $3.7M. In the 44 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,523 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 651 of its 1,523 records, fully 43%, fall under that one heading. Violation (393) and permit (232) trail well behind. 47 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.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 27, with a site energy-use intensity of 124.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 406 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 43% complaint, 44 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.

$8.2M of New York, written across 1,523 government filings.
