Completed in 1962, 540 Park Ave rises 20 stories over New York. Public records put it at 1 unit and 268,467 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-1. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $148M, and assessed for tax at $66.5M. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 923 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 330 of its 923 records, fully 36%, fall under that one heading. Violation (224) and inspection (165) trail well behind. 3 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 2013.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 60, with a site energy-use intensity of 104.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 2,570 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 36% permit, 59 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.

$148M of New York, written across 923 government filings.
