Completed in 1926, 500 Riverside Dr rises 13 stories over New York. Public records put it at 1 unit and 258,120 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R8. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $13.0M, and assessed for tax at $5.9M. In the 40 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 968 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 323 of its 968 records, fully 33%, fall under that one heading. Permit (260) and violation (134) trail well behind. 3 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 34, with a site energy-use intensity of 122.3 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,590 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 33% inspection, 40 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.

$13.0M of New York, written across 968 government filings.
