In the 57 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 873 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 355 of its 873 records, fully 41%, fall under that one heading. Violation (330) and inspection (70) trail well behind. 144 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 2014.

Read together — 41% 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.

$1.8M of New York, written across 873 government filings.
