Completed in 1900, 8 West 38 St rises 12 stories over New York. Public records put it at 33 units and 112,120 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M1-9A/R12. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $27.5M, and assessed for tax at $12.4M. In the 38 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 621 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 218 of its 621 records, fully 35%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (166) and enforcement (90) trail well behind. No 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 2017.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 76, with a site energy-use intensity of 74.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 733 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 35% permit, 38 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.

$27.5M of New York, written across 621 government filings.
