Completed in 1912, 529 West 42 St rises 9 stories over New York. Public records put it at 161 units and 240,413 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-4. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $58.2M, and assessed for tax at $26.2M. In the 45 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 842 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 450 of its 842 records, fully 53%, fall under that one heading. Violation (84) and enforcement (80) trail well behind. 12 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 62, with a site energy-use intensity of 57.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,097 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 53% 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.

$58.2M of New York, written across 842 government filings.
