Completed in 1923, 240 West 40 St rises 12 stories over New York. Public records put it at 18 units and 137,199 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M1-9A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $48.2M, and assessed for tax at $21.7M. In the 53 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,087 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 464 of its 1,087 records, fully 43%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (216) and violation (175) trail well behind. 8 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 2008.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 77, with a site energy-use intensity of 73.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,258 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 43% permit, 53 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.

$48.2M of New York, written across 1,087 government filings.
