Completed in 1913, 53 East 25 St rises 16 stories over New York. Public records put it at 17 units and 185,000 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-3. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $47.3M, and assessed for tax at $21.3M. In the 74 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,092 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 361 of its 1,092 records, fully 33%, fall under that one heading. Permit (282) and inspection (200) trail well behind. 123 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 96, with a site energy-use intensity of 25.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 530 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 33% violation, 74 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.

$47.3M of New York, written across 1,092 government filings.
