Completed in 1902, 52 William St rises 20 stories over New York. Public records put it at 2 units and 119,467 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $31.0M, and assessed for tax at $13.9M. In the 38 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 821 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 222 of its 821 records, fully 27%, fall under that one heading. Violation (203) and enforcement (156) 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 35, with a site energy-use intensity of 111.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,153 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 27% permit, 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.

$31.0M of New York, written across 821 government filings.
