Completed in 1928, 596 Edgecombe Ave rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 48 units and 46,485 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $4.1M, and assessed for tax at $1.8M. In the 58 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 3,300 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 2,113 of its 3,300 records, fully 64%, fall under that one heading. Violation (862) and permit (114) trail well behind. 51 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 41, with a site energy-use intensity of 98.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 279 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 64% complaint, 58 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 3,300 government filings.
