Completed in 1904, 55 West 44 St rises 9 stories over New York. Public records put it at 4 units and 33,478 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-4.5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $14.3M, and assessed for tax at $6.4M. In the 38 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 428 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 108 of its 428 records, fully 25%, fall under that one heading. Violation (85) and enforcement (77) trail well behind. 12 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 10, with a site energy-use intensity of 99.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 321 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 25% permit, 38 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.

$14.3M of New York, written across 428 government filings.
