Completed in 1920, 405 East 59 St rises 1 story over New York. Public records put it at 2 units and 64,360 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C8-4. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $58.1M, and assessed for tax at $26.2M. In the 42 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 810 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 237 of its 810 records, fully 29%, fall under that one heading. Violation (161) and complaint (105) trail well behind. 10 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 97, with a site energy-use intensity of 220.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 2,003 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 29% permit, 42 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.

$58.1M of New York, written across 810 government filings.
