Completed in 1931, 500 5 Ave rises 58 stories over New York. Public records put it at 154 units and 659,122 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-3. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $255M, and assessed for tax at $115M. In the 41 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 3,267 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 1,779 of its 3,267 records, fully 54%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (568) and enforcement (386) trail well behind. 47 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 80, with a site energy-use intensity of 61.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 4,250 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 54% 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.

$255M of New York, written across 3,267 government filings.
