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 764 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 189 of its 764 records, fully 25%, fall under that one heading. Violation (179) and enforcement (156) trail well behind. 10 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 — 25% 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 764 government filings.
