Completed in 2007, 260 West 42 St rises 40 stories over New York. Public records put it at 789,726 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-7. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $32.8M, and assessed for tax at $14.8M. In the 43 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,200 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 901 of its 1,200 records, fully 75%, fall under that one heading. Violation (85) and complaint (70) 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 2010.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 72, with a site energy-use intensity of 66.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 7,384 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 75% permit, 43 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.

75% of every record here performs the same act: permit.
