Completed in 2012, 136 West 42 St rises 37 stories over New York. Public records put it at 2 units and 152,686 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-7. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $14.5M, and assessed for tax at $6.5M. In the 35 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 619 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 206 of its 619 records, fully 33%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (136) and violation (109) trail well behind. 16 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 42, with a site energy-use intensity of 94.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,411 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 33% permit, 35 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.

$14.5M of New York, written across 619 government filings.
