100records on file

Completed in 1900, 515 East 87 St rises 5 stories over New York. Public records put it at 10 units and 9,060 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R8B. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.1M, and assessed for tax at $1.8M. In the 38 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 100 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 37 of its 100 records, fully 37%, fall under that one heading. Permit (19) and complaint (14) trail well behind. 2 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 1999.

Read together — 37% inspection, 38 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.

$4.1M of New York, written across 100 government filings.
