Completed in 1922, 509 West 155 St rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 54 units and 58,674 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.0M, and assessed for tax at $2.3M. In the 48 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,161 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 600 of its 1,161 records, fully 52%, fall under that one heading. Violation (379) and enforcement (47) trail well behind. 35 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 2025.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 63, with a site energy-use intensity of 94.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 332 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 52% complaint, 48 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.

$5.0M of New York, written across 1,161 government filings.
