Completed in 1962, 420 East 72 St rises 19 stories over New York. Public records put it at 194 units and 238,180 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R10A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $66.9M, and assessed for tax at $30.1M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 821 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 371 of its 821 records, fully 45%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (158) and violation (83) trail well behind. 11 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 91, with a site energy-use intensity of 46.7 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 804 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 45% 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.

$66.9M of New York, written across 821 government filings.
