Completed in 1948, 40 Central Park South rises 11 stories over New York. Public records put it at 325 units and 269,346 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R10H. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $89.6M, and assessed for tax at $40.3M. In the 83 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,300 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 358 of its 1,300 records, fully 28%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (349) and complaint (209) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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 2005.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 10, with a site energy-use intensity of 105.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 2,015 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 28% permit, 83 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.

$89.6M of New York, written across 1,300 government filings.
