Completed in 1927, 61 East 59 St rises 31 stories over New York. Public records put it at 150 units and 245,794 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-3. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.6K, and assessed for tax at $2.5K. In the 45 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 3,137 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 925 of its 3,137 records, fully 29%, fall under that one heading. Assignment (477) and release (429) trail well behind. 2 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 2004.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 7, with a site energy-use intensity of 84.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,808 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 29% permit, 45 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.

$5.6K of New York, written across 3,137 government filings.
