Completed in 1889, 261 Columbus Ave rises 7 stories over New York. Public records put it at 62 units and 30,269 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R10A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $14.5M, and assessed for tax at $6.5M. In the 82 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 551 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 155 of its 551 records, fully 28%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (118) and complaint (101) 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 1, with a site energy-use intensity of 169.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 428 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 28% permit, 82 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.

$14.5M of New York, written across 551 government filings.
