It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $14.3M, and assessed for tax at $6.5M. In the 61 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 173 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 44 of its 173 records, fully 25%, fall under that one heading. Assignment (28) and enforcement (23) 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 is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 5.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 29 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 25% violation, 61 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.

$14.3M of New York, written across 173 government filings.
