Many of the 48 are administrative final-inspection filings, street-space permits, or revisions at a nominal $1 valuation; the substantive work is selected below. Several permits reference a 'theatre floor' inside the house. The roll reports land and improvements at the identical figure of $1,650,000. Treat the $3,300,000 total as reliable and the split as unresolved. The residence guide cited below associates a public figure with this address in terms that read as continuing occupancy; that claim is left out, because these pages do not name current residents.

Assessed value

The roll reports land and improvements at the same figure, $1,650,000 each, so no split is charted. It also predates the completion of the fire repair.
