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 1,681 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2013.

Read together — 57% 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 1,681 government filings.
