Completed in 1929, 40 5 Ave rises 15 stories over New York. Public records put it at 81 units and 141,877 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R10. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $42.2M, and assessed for tax at $19.0M. In the 97 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,040 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 535 of its 1,040 records, fully 51%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (182) and enforcement (89) trail well behind. 11 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 posts an Energy Star score of 29, with a site energy-use intensity of 84.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 847 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 51% permit, 97 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.

$42.2M of New York, written across 1,040 government filings.
