It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.8M, and assessed for tax at $1.2M. In the 58 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,600 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 864 of its 1,600 records, fully 54%, fall under that one heading. Violation (442) and enforcement (96) trail well behind. 39 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 100, with a site energy-use intensity of 40.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 293 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 54% complaint, 58 years of accumulation, a parcel of Bronx — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$2.8M of Bronx, written across 1,600 government filings.
