Completed in 1914, 52 Chambers St rises 2 stories over New York. Public records put it at 1 unit and 144,016 square feet of floor area, on land zoned PARK. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $59.8M, and assessed for tax at $26.9M. In the 42 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,715 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 1,417 of its 2,715 records, fully 52%, fall under that one heading. Permit (507) and inspection (470) trail well behind. 15 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 71, with a site energy-use intensity of 51.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,005 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 52% enforcement, 42 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.

$59.8M of New York, written across 2,715 government filings.
