The lot at 72 5TH Ave holds its ground over New York. In the 36 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 582 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward mortgage: 135 of its 582 records, fully 23%, fall under that one heading. Permit (105) and sale (101) trail well behind. No 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 2009.

Read together — 23% mortgage, 36 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.

582 filings. 36 years. One address.
