It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $6.8M, and assessed for tax at $3.0M. In the 40 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 387 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 134 of its 387 records, fully 35%, fall under that one heading. Violation (73) and enforcement (39) trail well behind. 26 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 2025.

Read together — 35% permit, 40 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.

$6.8M of New York, written across 387 government filings.
