Completed in 1948, 40 Amsterdam Ave rises 13 stories over New York. Public records put it at 1,084 units and 825,480 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R8. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $121M, and assessed for tax at $54.3M. In the 48 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 3,069 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 1,604 of its 3,069 records, fully 52%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (547) and violation (314) trail well behind. 55 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 5, with a site energy-use intensity of 160.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 9,884 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 52% permit, 48 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.

$121M of New York, written across 3,069 government filings.
