Completed in 1929, 541 Lexington Ave rises 15 stories over New York. Public records put it at 14 units and 317,496 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-6. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $93.1M, and assessed for tax at $41.9M. In the 58 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,563 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 697 of its 1,563 records, fully 45%, fall under that one heading. Violation (385) and enforcement (224) trail well behind. 50 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 1997.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 100, with a site energy-use intensity of 18.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 597 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 45% permit, 58 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.

$93.1M of New York, written across 1,563 government filings.
