The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 57 of its 157 records, fully 36%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (47) and violation (14) trail well behind. 5 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 2008.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 55, with a site energy-use intensity of 47.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 94 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 36% permit, 44 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.

$4.1M of New York, written across 157 government filings.
