Completed in 1927, 51 West 86 St rises 16 stories over New York. Public records put it at 77 units and 70,144 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R10A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $12.6M, and assessed for tax at $5.7M. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,038 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 311 of its 1,038 records, fully 30%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (300) and inspection (174) trail well behind. 9 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 2020.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 76, with a site energy-use intensity of 69.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 365 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 30% violation, 59 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.

$12.6M of New York, written across 1,038 government filings.
