Completed in 1928, 555 West 156 St rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 61 units and 32,262 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.2M, and assessed for tax at $2.3M. In the 57 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 828 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 466 of its 828 records, fully 56%, fall under that one heading. Violation (195) and inspection (40) 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 65, with a site energy-use intensity of 108.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 216 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 56% complaint, 57 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.

$5.2M of New York, written across 828 government filings.
