Completed in 1963, 51 East 87 St rises 14 stories over New York. Public records put it at 129 units and 156,729 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R8B. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $47.4M, and assessed for tax at $21.3M. In the 61 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 676 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 266 of its 676 records, fully 39%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (186) and violation (72) 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 2017.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 29, with a site energy-use intensity of 93.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 950 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 39% permit, 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.

$47.4M of New York, written across 676 government filings.
