Completed in 1927, 545 8 Ave rises 23 stories over New York. Public records put it at 58 units and 166,874 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M1-9A/R12. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $25.3M, and assessed for tax at $11.4M. In the 54 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,047 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 340 of its 1,047 records, fully 32%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (220) and violation (167) trail well behind. 4 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 89, with a site energy-use intensity of 63.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 971 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 32% permit, 54 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.

$25.3M of New York, written across 1,047 government filings.
