The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2015.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 2, with a site energy-use intensity of 115.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 326 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 54% complaint, 64 years of accumulation, a parcel of Bronx — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$4.0M of Bronx, written across 1,437 government filings.
