Completed in 1929, 87 Ellwood St rises 5 stories over New York. Public records put it at 51 units and 41,045 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.6M, and assessed for tax at $1.2M. In the 50 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,502 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 1,342 of its 2,502 records, fully 54%, fall under that one heading. Violation (973) and inspection (75) trail well behind. 110 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 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 15, with a site energy-use intensity of 120.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 305 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 54% complaint, 50 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.

$2.6M of New York, written across 2,502 government filings.
