Completed in 1931, 515 Madison Ave rises 42 stories over New York. Public records put it at 86 units and 331,020 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-3. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $75.5M, and assessed for tax at $34.0M. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,382 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 687 of its 1,382 records, fully 50%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (226) and inspection (213) trail well behind. 12 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 2010.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 89, with a site energy-use intensity of 56.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,794 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 50% permit, 59 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.

$75.5M of New York, written across 1,382 government filings.
