Completed in 1923, 640 West 170 St rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 41 units and 40,338 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R8. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.5M, and assessed for tax at $1.1M. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 171 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 60 of its 171 records, fully 35%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (28) and permit (25) trail well behind. No 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 2012.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 92, with a site energy-use intensity of 63.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 168 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 35% complaint, 59 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.

$2.5M of New York, written across 171 government filings.
