Completed in 1899, 74 East 79 St rises 19 stories over New York. Public records put it at 42 units and 62,472 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R10. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $20.8M, and assessed for tax at $9.3M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 235 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 86 of its 235 records, fully 37%, fall under that one heading. Permit (35) and inspection (33) trail well behind. 8 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 2015.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 47, with a site energy-use intensity of 70.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 314 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 37% violation, 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.

$20.8M of New York, written across 235 government filings.
