Completed in 1926, 552 Academy St rises 5 stories over New York. Public records put it at 72 units and 52,970 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $6.0M, and assessed for tax at $2.7M. In the 56 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 4,091 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 2,287 of its 4,091 records, fully 56%, fall under that one heading. Violation (1,221) and enforcement (317) trail well behind. 27 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 2006.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 41, with a site energy-use intensity of 99.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 348 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 56% complaint, 56 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.

$6.0M of New York, written across 4,091 government filings.
