Completed in 1920, 56 Cooper Square rises 12 stories over New York. Public records put it at 28 units and 102,792 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M1-6/R10. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $777K, and assessed for tax at $350K. In the 40 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,032 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 514 of its 1,032 records, fully 50%, fall under that one heading. Violation (96) and inspection (76) trail well behind. 12 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 2003.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 89, with a site energy-use intensity of 70.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 804 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 50% permit, 40 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.

$777K of New York, written across 1,032 government filings.
