Completed in 1925, 88 Morningside Dr rises 15 stories over New York. Public records put it at 288 units and 189,905 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R8. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $35.4M, and assessed for tax at $15.9M. In the 64 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,127 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 591 of its 1,127 records, fully 52%, fall under that one heading. Permit (241) and violation (99) trail well behind. 18 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 2019.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 76, with a site energy-use intensity of 72.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,026 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 52% inspection, 64 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.

$35.4M of New York, written across 1,127 government filings.
