Completed in 2008, 959 1 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 682 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 208 of its 682 records, fully 30%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (142) and enforcement (111) 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 2017.

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 — 30% permit, 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 682 government filings.
