Completed in 1911, 559 West 164 St rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 51 units and 60,626 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.4M, and assessed for tax at $1.6M. In the 49 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,299 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 696 of its 1,299 records, fully 54%, fall under that one heading. Violation (340) and enforcement (79) trail well behind. 26 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 36, with a site energy-use intensity of 96.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 365 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 54% complaint, 49 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.

$3.4M of New York, written across 1,299 government filings.
