Completed in 1929, 42 West 48 St rises 16 stories over New York. Public records put it at 42 units and 58,201 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-4.5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $11.9M, and assessed for tax at $5.3M. In the 80 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 507 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 148 of its 507 records, fully 29%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (148) and inspection (71) trail well behind. 13 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 2017.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 59, with a site energy-use intensity of 91.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 480 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 29% permit, 80 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.

$11.9M of New York, written across 507 government filings.
