It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $140M, and assessed for tax at $63.2M. In the 53 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,649 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 1,707 of its 2,649 records, fully 64%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (416) and violation (247) trail well behind. 2 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 1991.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 65, with a site energy-use intensity of 79.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 3,245 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 64% permit, 53 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.

$140M of New York, written across 2,649 government filings.
