Completed in 1930, 40 Wall St rises 63 stories over New York. Public records put it at 1 unit and 1,061,286 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $158M, and assessed for tax at $71.2M. In the 61 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 5,070 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 2,262 of its 5,070 records, fully 45%, fall under that one heading. Permit (1,714) and violation (678) trail well behind. 31 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 2018.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 91, with a site energy-use intensity of 46.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 4,908 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 45% inspection, 61 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.

$158M of New York, written across 5,070 government filings.
