It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $108M, and assessed for tax at $48.8M. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,425 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 1,088 of its 1,425 records, fully 76%, fall under that one heading. Violation (77) and enforcement (69) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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 2003.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 78, with a site energy-use intensity of 51.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,206 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 76% permit, 59 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.

76% of every record here performs the same act: permit.
