Completed in 1939, 20 Park Ave rises 20 stories over New York. Public records put it at 102 units and 101,306 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R10. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $28.9M, and assessed for tax at $13.0M. In the 87 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,181 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 574 of its 1,181 records, fully 49%, fall under that one heading. Permit (373) and complaint (87) trail well behind. No 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 2019.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 55, with a site energy-use intensity of 81.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 682 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 49% inspection, 87 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.

$28.9M of New York, written across 1,181 government filings.
