It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $221K, and assessed for tax at $99.5K. In the 97 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 304 separate government filings.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2004.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 100.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 61 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 55% permit, 97 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.

$221K of New York, written across 304 government filings.
