Completed in 1969, 400 East 56 St rises 38 stories over New York. Public records put it at 636 units and 967,300 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R10. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $286M, and assessed for tax at $129M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,467 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 582 of its 1,467 records, fully 40%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (243) and violation (188) trail well behind. 6 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 2020.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 35, with a site energy-use intensity of 85.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 5,377 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 40% permit, 60 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.

$286M of New York, written across 1,467 government filings.
