Completed in 1928, 303 West 42 St rises 12 stories over New York. Public records put it at 2 units and 52,901 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-4. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $22.9M, and assessed for tax at $10.3M. In the 58 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,891 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 681 of its 1,891 records, fully 36%, fall under that one heading. Permit (483) and violation (305) trail well behind. 36 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 2021.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 82.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 601 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 36% enforcement, 58 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.

$22.9M of New York, written across 1,891 government filings.
