The Empire State Building

350 5th Avenue, Manhattan · BBL 1008350041 · BIN 1015862

SEVERE risk

The most famous office building on earth files a lot of paperwork: thousands of permits, jobs, and inspections over the decades — and even a landmark this well-run carries open items on the city record at any given moment.

What drives the score

652 open job filings (never signed off)

Jobs without a final sign-off or Letter of Completion surface in every title search, lender review, and TCO/CO application.

452 stale jobs (no activity in 3+ years)

Long-dormant open jobs usually require re-filing or an LS-1 withdrawal before the DOB will close them.

83 expired work permits on open jobs

Work performed after permit expiration cannot be inspected or signed off until the permit is renewed.

7 active dob violations

Active DOB violations must be corrected and dismissed before a Certificate of Occupancy or Letter of Completion is issued.

3 active dob safety violations (facade/boiler/elevator/benchmarking)

Failure-to-file and safety-equipment violations must be resolved with the issuing unit before sign-offs, and several carry compounding civil penalties.

1 facade filed unsafe (fisp/ll11)

An UNSAFE facade filing requires immediate public protection and repairs on a fixed clock — lenders and insurers treat it as a red flag.
