It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $544K, and assessed for tax at $245K. In the 1811 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 823 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 236 of its 823 records, fully 29%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (163) and mortgage (128) trail well behind. 21 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 2021.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 76, with a site energy-use intensity of 65.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 491 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 29% permit, 1811 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.

$544K of New York, written across 823 government filings.
