Completed in 1870, 54 Laight St rises 5 stories over New York. Public records put it at 1 unit and 29,500 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-2A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $7.2M, and assessed for tax at $3.2M. In the 57 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 220 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 111 of its 220 records, fully 50%, fall under that one heading. Violation (23) and enforcement (20) trail well behind. 7 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 1987.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 167.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 676 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 50% permit, 57 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.

$7.2M of New York, written across 220 government filings.
