Completed in 1914, 479 5 Ave rises 14 stories over New York. Public records put it at 186 units and 190,357 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-3. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $77.7M, and assessed for tax at $35.0M. In the 56 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,488 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 670 of its 1,488 records, fully 45%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (305) and violation (237) trail well behind. 18 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 2009.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 49, with a site energy-use intensity of 92.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,878 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 45% permit, 56 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.

$77.7M of New York, written across 1,488 government filings.
