It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.8M, and assessed for tax at $1.3M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 366 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 202 of its 366 records, fully 55%, fall under that one heading. Violation (64) and inspection (32) 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 2006.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 41, with a site energy-use intensity of 105.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 224 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 55% complaint, 60 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.

$2.8M of New York, written across 366 government filings.
