Completed in 1913, 681 5 Ave rises 12 stories over New York. Public records put it at 11 units and 58,824 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-3. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $116M, and assessed for tax at $52.4M. In the 57 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,103 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 508 of its 1,103 records, fully 46%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (205) and enforcement (137) 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 2011.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 54, with a site energy-use intensity of 64.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 420 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 46% permit, 57 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.

$116M of New York, written across 1,103 government filings.
