The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 60, with a site energy-use intensity of 73.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 739 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 54% permit, 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.

$99.0M of New York, written across 1,264 government filings.
