Completed in 1940, 408 West 52 St rises 8 stories over New York. Public records put it at 156 units and 142,970 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R8. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $706K, and assessed for tax at $318K. In the 45 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,066 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 324 of its 1,066 records, fully 30%, fall under that one heading. Violation (251) and enforcement (156) 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 2009.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 87, with a site energy-use intensity of 30.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 638 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 30% permit, 45 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.

$706K of New York, written across 1,066 government filings.
