The lot at 52 East 78TH St holds its ground over New York. In the 90 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 78 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 50 of its 78 records, fully 64%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (19) and violation (6) trail well behind. No 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 2005.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 1, with a site energy-use intensity of 118.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,843 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 64% permit, 90 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.

78 filings. 90 years. One address.
