Completed in 1916, 52 Vanderbilt Ave rises 20 stories over New York. Public records put it at 38 units and 162,330 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-3. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $53.3M, and assessed for tax at $24.0M. In the 51 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,480 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 826 of its 1,480 records, fully 56%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (322) and violation (144) trail well behind. 11 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 80, with a site energy-use intensity of 70.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,079 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 56% permit, 51 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.

$53.3M of New York, written across 1,480 government filings.
