A RegWatch Dossier

4,819records on file

The lot at 4 Penn Plaza holds its ground over New York. It sits on land zoned C6-4. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 4,819 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 3,065 of its 4,819 records, fully 64%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (744) and violation (511) 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 2011.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 102.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 11,565 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 64% permit, 60 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.

4,819 filings. 60 years. One address.
