Completed in 1917, 500 Audubon Ave rises 5 stories over New York. Public records put it at 28 units and 25,295 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $2.3M, and assessed for tax at $1.1M. In the 110 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 854 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward complaint: 427 of its 854 records, fully 50%, fall under that one heading. Violation (273) and permit (36) trail well behind. 42 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 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 97, with a site energy-use intensity of 58.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 97 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 50% complaint, 110 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.

$2.3M of New York, written across 854 government filings.
