Completed in 1964, 20 Merle Pl rises 5 stories over Richmond. Public records put it at 64 units and 61,130 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R3A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.3M, and assessed for tax at $2.4M. In the 61 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,290 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 735 of its 1,290 records, fully 57%, fall under that one heading. Violation (436) and permit (39) trail well behind. 23 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 2025.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 49, with a site energy-use intensity of 99.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 371 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 57% complaint, 61 years of accumulation, a parcel of Richmond — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$5.3M of Richmond, written across 1,290 government filings.
