It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $99.0M, and assessed for tax at $44.5M. In the 58 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,278 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 601 of its 1,278 records, fully 47%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (205) and inspection (202) 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 2015.

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 — 47% 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 1,278 government filings.
