Completed in 1907, 889 St Nicholas Ave rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 120 units and 33,756 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R8A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.6M, and assessed for tax at $2.5M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 897 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 457 of its 897 records, fully 51%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (248) and inspection (68) trail well behind. 25 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 2021.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 35, with a site energy-use intensity of 124.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 335 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 51% violation, 60 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.

$5.6M of New York, written across 897 government filings.
