Completed in 1907, 140 West 42 St rises 16 stories over New York. Public records put it at 3 units and 282,879 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-7. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $12.3M, and assessed for tax at $5.5M. In the 45 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,923 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 769 of its 1,923 records, fully 40%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (480) and violation (244) 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 2020.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 89, with a site energy-use intensity of 66.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,569 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 40% permit, 45 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.

$12.3M of New York, written across 1,923 government filings.
