Completed in 1958, 5 West 52 St rises 40 stories over New York. Public records put it at 1,341,058 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-2.5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $136M, and assessed for tax at $61.3M. In the 38 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,407 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 2,075 of its 2,407 records, fully 86%, fall under that one heading. Violation (184) and complaint (100) trail well behind. No violations stand open against it today.

The pace is anything but even. The record runs hot early and quiets with age, with 2001 its single busiest year.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 78, with a site energy-use intensity of 43.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 6,056 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 86% permit, 38 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.

86% of every record here performs the same act: permit.
