Completed in 1971, 885 2 Ave rises 48 stories over New York. Public records put it at 27 units and 805,467 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C1-9. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $257M, and assessed for tax at $116M. In the 59 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 4,018 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 1,704 of its 4,018 records, fully 42%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (1,683) and violation (282) 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 2025.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 86, with a site energy-use intensity of 64.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 4,344 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 42% 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.

$257M of New York, written across 4,018 government filings.
