978records on file

Completed in 1929, 971 Madison Ave rises 15 stories over New York. Public records put it at 27 units and 34,202 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-1. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $1.1M, and assessed for tax at $484K. In the 44 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 978 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 306 of its 978 records, fully 31%, fall under that one heading. Release (111) and inspection (102) 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 2022.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 332.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,267 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 31% permit, 44 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 978 government filings.
