Completed in 1986, 1940 Lexington Ave rises 12 stories over New York. Public records put it at 150 units and 113,535 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $20.8M, and assessed for tax at $9.4M. In the 42 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 802 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 214 of its 802 records, fully 27%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (178) and violation (167) trail well behind. 15 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 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 60, with a site energy-use intensity of 74.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 664 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 27% complaint, 42 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.

$20.8M of New York, written across 802 government filings.
