Completed in 1952, 2 Fifth Ave rises 20 stories over New York. Public records put it at 350 units and 469,263 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R10. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $140M, and assessed for tax at $62.9M. In the 41 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,603 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 988 of its 1,603 records, fully 62%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (155) and violation (154) trail well behind. 29 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 85, with a site energy-use intensity of 57.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 2,101 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 62% permit, 41 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.

$140M of New York, written across 1,603 government filings.
