Completed in 1900, 3940 Broadway rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 6 units and 126,744 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $33.9M, and assessed for tax at $15.3M. In the 38 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,014 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 443 of its 1,014 records, fully 44%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (259) and inspection (148) 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 is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 391.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 2,949 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 44% permit, 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.

$33.9M of New York, written across 1,014 government filings.
