Completed in 1928, 525 3 Ave rises 10 stories over New York. Public records put it at 90 units and 76,024 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C1-9. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $18.5M, and assessed for tax at $8.3M. In the 58 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 836 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 187 of its 836 records, fully 22%, fall under that one heading. Permit (167) and complaint (159) trail well behind. 22 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 26, with a site energy-use intensity of 117.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 707 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 22% inspection, 58 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.

$18.5M of New York, written across 836 government filings.
