Completed in 1901, 85 5 Ave rises 13 stories over New York. Public records put it at 13 units and 103,022 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-4M. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $31.1M, and assessed for tax at $14.0M. In the 48 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 861 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 431 of its 861 records, fully 50%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (150) and violation (108) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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 2008.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 97, with a site energy-use intensity of 28.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 380 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 50% permit, 48 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.

$31.1M of New York, written across 861 government filings.
