It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $228M, and assessed for tax at $102M. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 3,017 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 1998.

Read together — 77% permit, 59 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.

77% of every record here performs the same act: permit.
