Completed in 1925, 549 Riverside Dr rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 61 units and 53,418 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R8. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.4M, and assessed for tax at $2.4M. In the 64 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 207 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward inspection: 58 of its 207 records, fully 28%, fall under that one heading. Permit (46) and enforcement (31) trail well behind. 10 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 73, with a site energy-use intensity of 89.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 289 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 28% inspection, 64 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.

$5.4M of New York, written across 207 government filings.
