Completed in 1935, 78 Broad St rises 37 stories over New York. Public records put it at 76 units and 361,710 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $73.3M, and assessed for tax at $33.0M. In the 47 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,702 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 892 of its 1,702 records, fully 52%, fall under that one heading. Violation (290) and inspection (182) trail well behind. 7 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 2013.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 78, with a site energy-use intensity of 52.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,700 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 52% permit, 47 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.

$73.3M of New York, written across 1,702 government filings.
