Completed in 1984, 550 Madison Ave rises 37 stories over New York. Public records put it at 7 units and 685,125 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-3. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $561M, and assessed for tax at $252M. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,989 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 1,003 of its 1,989 records, fully 50%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (418) and violation (242) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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 92, with a site energy-use intensity of 63.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 4,330 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.

$561M of New York, written across 1,989 government filings.
