Completed in 1924, 9 East 38 St rises 12 stories over New York. Public records put it at 11 units and 59,191 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-2.5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $13.7M, and assessed for tax at $6.2M. In the 51 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 598 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 239 of its 598 records, fully 40%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (135) and violation (90) trail well behind. 10 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 2020.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 82, with a site energy-use intensity of 40.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 244 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 40% permit, 51 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.

$13.7M of New York, written across 598 government filings.
