Completed in 1927, 72 Wadsworth Ter rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 42 units and 33,490 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.5M, and assessed for tax at $1.1M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,565 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,276 of its 2,565 records, fully 50%, fall under that one heading. Violation (923) and enforcement (166) trail well behind. 70 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 2016.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 100, with a site energy-use intensity of 11.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 43 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 50% complaint, 60 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.

$2.5M of New York, written across 2,565 government filings.
