In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,652 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2017.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 89, with a site energy-use intensity of 56.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,794 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 39% permit, 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.

$75.5M of New York, written across 1,652 government filings.
