It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $18.2M, and assessed for tax at $8.2M. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,403 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,221 of its 2,403 records, fully 51%, fall under that one heading. Violation (528) and inspection (221) trail well behind. 61 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 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 36, with a site energy-use intensity of 76.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,764 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 51% complaint, 59 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.

$18.2M of New York, written across 2,403 government filings.
