Completed in 2008, 959 First Ave rises 30 stories over New York. Public records put it at 126 units and 150,768 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R10. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $1.1M, and assessed for tax at $486K. In the 41 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,309 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward release: 227 of its 1,309 records, fully 17%, fall under that one heading. Permit (210) and sale (208) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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 2006.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 75, with a site energy-use intensity of 44.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 825 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 17% release, 41 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.

$1.1M of New York, written across 1,309 government filings.
