Completed in 1951, 655 Madison Ave rises 24 stories over New York. Public records put it at 20 units and 198,347 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C5-3. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $113M, and assessed for tax at $50.7M. In the 58 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,393 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 799 of its 1,393 records, fully 57%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (150) and inspection (147) trail well behind. 3 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 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 75, with a site energy-use intensity of 51.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 970 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 57% permit, 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.

$113M of New York, written across 1,393 government filings.
