Completed in 1978, 20 Confucius Plaza rises 5 stories over New York. Public records put it at 146,500 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-1G. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $61.5M, and assessed for tax at $27.7M. In the 55 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,398 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 433 of its 1,398 records, fully 31%, fall under that one heading. Permit (289) and complaint (269) trail well behind. 54 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 2003.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 74, with a site energy-use intensity of 47.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 5,622 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 31% violation, 55 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.

$61.5M of New York, written across 1,398 government filings.
