Completed in 1930, 865 1 Ave rises 16 stories over New York. Public records put it at 84 units and 71,206 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $416K, and assessed for tax at $187K. In the 1811 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 933 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 181 of its 933 records, fully 19%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (157) and sale (125) trail well behind. 28 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 2007.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 69, with a site energy-use intensity of 79.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 440 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 19% permit, 1811 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.

$416K of New York, written across 933 government filings.
