The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 4,630 of its 7,754 records, fully 60%, fall under that one heading. Violation (2,336) and inspection (315) trail well behind. 1,414 violations stand open against it today.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 100, with a site energy-use intensity of 22.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,359 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 60% complaint, 55 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.

$68.6M of New York, written across 7,754 government filings.
