Completed in 1910, 3770 Broadway rises 10 stories over New York. Public records put it at 80 units and 99,076 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R8. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $13.4M, and assessed for tax at $6.0M. In the 117 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 3,970 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 2,158 of its 3,970 records, fully 54%, fall under that one heading. Violation (1,069) and enforcement (274) trail well behind. 19 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 48, with a site energy-use intensity of 86.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 574 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 54% complaint, 117 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.

$13.4M of New York, written across 3,970 government filings.
