Completed in 1912, 68 East 86 St rises 12 stories over New York. Public records put it at 27 units and 53,220 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R10. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $15.4M, and assessed for tax at $6.9M. In the 58 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 973 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 365 of its 973 records, fully 38%, fall under that one heading. Permit (211) and violation (152) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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 60, with a site energy-use intensity of 62.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 260 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 38% 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.

$15.4M of New York, written across 973 government filings.
