Completed in 1914, 516 West 20 St rises 7 stories over New York. Public records put it at 2 units and 84,803 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $38.1M, and assessed for tax at $17.2M. In the 48 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 490 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 195 of its 490 records, fully 40%, fall under that one heading. Violation (107) and enforcement (72) trail well behind. No 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 2019.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 100, with a site energy-use intensity of 28.0 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 130 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 40% permit, 48 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.

$38.1M of New York, written across 490 government filings.
