Completed in 1930, 20 East 40 St rises 14 stories over New York. Public records put it at 75 units and 74,186 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-3. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $12.0M, and assessed for tax at $5.4M. In the 38 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 507 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 154 of its 507 records, fully 30%, fall under that one heading. Permit (140) and violation (77) trail well behind. 6 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 2022.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 41, with a site energy-use intensity of 114.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 758 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 30% enforcement, 38 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.

$12.0M of New York, written across 507 government filings.
