Completed in 1958, 825 Columbus Ave rises 17 stories over New York. Public records put it at 900 units and 689,340 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $64.4M, and assessed for tax at $29.0M. In the 50 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,519 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 591 of its 1,519 records, fully 39%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (373) and enforcement (233) trail well behind. 45 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 19, with a site energy-use intensity of 0.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 3 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 39% permit, 50 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.

$64.4M of New York, written across 1,519 government filings.
