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 78, with a site energy-use intensity of 100.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 228 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 48% complaint, 103 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.

$2.4M of New York, written across 1,084 government filings.
