It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $6.1M, and assessed for tax at $2.8M. In the 67 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,579 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 946 of its 1,579 records, fully 60%, fall under that one heading. Violation (279) and enforcement (127) trail well behind. 41 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 2009.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 45, with a site energy-use intensity of 80.5 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 283 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 60% complaint, 67 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.

$6.1M of New York, written across 1,579 government filings.
