It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.4M, and assessed for tax at $2.4M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,392 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 670 of its 1,392 records, fully 48%, fall under that one heading. Violation (383) and inspection (172) trail well behind. 5 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 2018.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 39, with a site energy-use intensity of 97.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 189 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 48% complaint, 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.

$5.4M of New York, written across 1,392 government filings.
