It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $561M, and assessed for tax at $252M. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,177 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 1,429 of its 2,177 records, fully 66%, fall under that one heading. Violation (305) and enforcement (186) trail well behind. 3 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 92, with a site energy-use intensity of 63.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 4,330 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 66% permit, 59 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.

66% of every record here performs the same act: permit.
