It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $16.9M, and assessed for tax at $7.6M. In the 48 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,228 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2005.

Read together — 49% complaint, 48 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.

$16.9M of New York, written across 1,228 government filings.
