Completed in 1921, 220 West 42 St rises 25 stories over New York. Public records put it at 1 unit and 235,300 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-7. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $116M, and assessed for tax at $52.3M. In the 51 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,068 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 933 of its 2,068 records, fully 45%, fall under that one heading. Permit (596) and inspection (329) trail well behind. 2 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 2002.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 60, with a site energy-use intensity of 83.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 2,133 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 45% enforcement, 51 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.

$116M of New York, written across 2,068 government filings.
