Completed in 1905, 219 East 42 St rises 9 stories over New York. Public records put it at 566 units and 519,826 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-3. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $120M, and assessed for tax at $54.0M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,002 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 626 of its 1,002 records, fully 62%, fall under that one heading. Violation (119) and enforcement (79) trail well behind. 14 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 93, with a site energy-use intensity of 53.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,405 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 62% permit, 60 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.

$120M of New York, written across 1,002 government filings.
