Completed in 1902, 40 Exchange Pl rises 20 stories over New York. Public records put it at 86 units and 239,071 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $49.9M, and assessed for tax at $22.5M. In the 58 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,306 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 424 of its 1,306 records, fully 32%, fall under that one heading. Violation (264) and inspection (190) trail well behind. 3 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 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 90, with a site energy-use intensity of 63.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,355 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 32% permit, 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.

$49.9M of New York, written across 1,306 government filings.
