Completed in 1930, 629 West 135 St rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 30 units and 34,074 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R8. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $1.6M, and assessed for tax at $726K. In the 52 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,164 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,303 of its 2,164 records, fully 60%, fall under that one heading. Violation (579) and enforcement (87) trail well behind. 28 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 2005.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 73, with a site energy-use intensity of 101.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 271 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 60% complaint, 52 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.

$1.6M of New York, written across 2,164 government filings.
