It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $1.8M, and assessed for tax at $809K. In the 57 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 845 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 348 of its 845 records, fully 41%, fall under that one heading. Violation (312) and inspection (70) trail well behind. 127 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.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 32, with a site energy-use intensity of 134.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 341 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

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 845 government filings.
