It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $140M, and assessed for tax at $62.9M. In the 56 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,187 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 543 of its 1,187 records, fully 46%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (207) and violation (162) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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 2018.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 46, with a site energy-use intensity of 82.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,494 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 46% permit, 56 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.

$140M of New York, written across 1,187 government filings.
