Completed in 1931, 440 West 21 St rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 16 units and 133,885 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7B. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $26.8M, and assessed for tax at $12.1M. In the 38 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,111 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 601 of its 1,111 records, fully 54%, fall under that one heading. Violation (151) and complaint (130) trail well behind. 48 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 32, with a site energy-use intensity of 79.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 675 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 54% permit, 38 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.

$26.8M of New York, written across 1,111 government filings.
